Murdoch Mysteries Season 4 [Blu-ray]

CAN'T GET ENOUGH TORONTO VICTORIAN SLUETHING
UPDATE: This set is also becoming available in the Murdoch Mysteries Collection: Seasons 1-4 [Blu-ray] & regular DVD set making it a great buy if you need all 4 seasons. And season 5 is now available for ordering. Season 6 is airing, and will be DVD-available later.

Award gathering Toronto detective from late 1890's who manages to use inventive forensic modes now common in today's crime solving venue. Historic aspects of the show are as good as period sets and costuming. Historical personalities occasionally cross paths with Murdoch (Yannick Bisson). Novel adaptations of Maureen Jennings' writing, this has become a show demanded for continuation. Always intriguing, always satisfying to the eyes and mind. An intellectual and entertaining hot fudge sundae, if they had those in 1897. Sprinkled overtop is bits of Victorian romance too.

Victorian CSI
The Murdoch Mysteries take today's crime scene investigation shows and push them back to the 1890s. But if you think the investigative methods used then were all very primitive, think again. Detective William Murdoch and his cohorts on the Toronto Constabulary (police force) employ "finger marks" (fingerprinting), dye on paper money to catch a bank robber, phone tapping, autopsies and other techniques to catch killers.

Murdoch Mysteries Season 4
Haven't purchased season 4, it is too expensive and I wonder why.
I have purchased through Amazon all the seasons of Midsummer Murders, Inspector Lewis, Poirot--and many more, at very affortable cost, recently I purchased the NCIS series 1 through 8, at the pricing under $200.00, which I thought was a great deal.
Therefore, I do not understand why the pricing for Murdoch Mysteries Season 4 is so expensive and beyond reach for many.
Not sure if my "venting" will be read--but I just wanted to share that I wished I was not 'Hooked" on the Murdoch Mysteries series--since I cannot continue to view the upcoming seasons due to the cost.
Thank you
