Interes Lesbico: Por ahora sólo que uno de los presonajes, la Dra. Mac viste de hombre (solo he visto el cap. 1, pero eso ya es llamativo, ¿no?) y esta de morirse, jajjajaja

SINOPSIS:
La accion se desarolla en los años veinte, en Melbourne.
Despues de pasar unos años en el extranjero, Phryne (se pronuncia "fry-nee"), nuestra protagonista, regresa a Melbourne para iniciar una nueva vida en su ciudad natal y para asegurarse de que Murdoch Foyle, responsable de la misteriosa desaparicion de la hermana de Phryne, nunca salga de la carcel.
En este primer capitulo, la vemos desembarcar en el puerto de Melbourne, donde la espera su mejor amiga y confidente, la Dra. Mac, una mujer hermosa mujer que viste con total naturalidad ropa de hombre.
Nada mas llegar, recibe una invitacion para asistir a su primera soiree en compañia de su tia Prudence, una conocida matriarca de la sociedad de Melbourne.
Y asi, es como nuestra Phryne se ve envuelta en su primera investigacion que le llevará a los bajos fondos de la ciudad en los que se moverá como gato en el agua gracias a su ingenio y a su pistola que la sacaran de mas de un apuro.
The first episode - which features a stunning performance from Miranda Otto as a grieving widow at the centre of the first investigation - starts as Phryne disembarks the Orient at Victoria Dock on her return to Melbourne. Soon she's ensconced in the fashionable Windsor Hotel, swapping edgy jokes about the unnaturalness of celibacy and the medical problems of the "wandering womb" with delightful Dr MacMillan, with her sexy men's clothes and no-nonsense approach to the rife male hypocrisy of the time.

Then, before her very proper Aunt Prudence (Miriam Margolyes) can drag Phryne off to attend her first soiree, she finds herself embroiled in a mystery: poisoned husbands, illegal abortionists, cocaine smuggling rings and the search for the dangerous and elusive drug lord "the King of Snow". Not to mention her erotic encounters with handsome Russian dancer Sasha de Lisse (Kristof Piechocki).

Mind you, de Lisse is purely a lust object for the predatory Phryne, giving her a chance to flick off her silk stockings and try out the latest birth-control device, promulgated by one of her heroines, the "thoroughly modern" Miss Marie Stopes.

Her adventure reaches its steamy end in the mysterious Turkish Bath Palace, situated behind a green door in a cobbled lane off Little Lonsdale Street.

The series is characterised by a charming facetiousness of style similar to that of Greenwood's writing. It constantly surprises with its cleverness, and Eagger and Cox's mastery of the crime thriller's tropes ensures continual surprises of plot. When it pauses for breath the show takes us into a decorous world - a world of beauty, wit and charm - elegantly realised by director of photography Roger Lanser and production designer Robert Perkins.

Like Miss Fisher herself, the series should leave a long trail of admirers in its wake.
PHRYNE Fisher, a fashionably beautiful investigator with shiny black hair and wicked ways, offers private services in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes in 1920s Melbourne.

DOROTHY WILLIAMS

A conservative working-class Catholic, Dot hoped for little more in life than a good job in a decent household and the prospect of marrying a kind man. That was until Miss Fisher breezed into her world.

DR MAC
by Tammy MacIntosh
Phryne’s best friend, confidante and mentor, whom she met during the war, is affectionately known to Phryne as simply ‘Mac’. Dr Elizabeth Macmillan works at the Women’s Hospital.
