The series takes place during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, offering a rich backdrop that blends real historical events and figures with fictional crimes. This provides a refreshing take on the mystery genre, as it explores how science and technology were beginning to influence crime-solving long before modern forensic methods became mainstream. 
For example, Detective Murdoch is a pioneer of early forensic techniques such as fingerprinting, ballistics, and using autopsy results to solve cases. His scientific approach to crime-solving, which was revolutionary for the time, gives the show a unique edge and makes it intellectually stimulating.
