There are two or three more episodes to go to bind all the plots together but I'm not going to watch.

The start was great.

Gorgeous, young and very rich Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) is out to see revenge for the false imprisonment of her beloved father and his murder in prison.

She hires a house in the Hamptons near the mansion of the Grayson family, and the matriarch of that family is Victoria Grayson played by Madeleine Stowe.

Emily's father was snatched away from her when she was a child, so no one recognises this glamorous young woman as Amanda Clarke, the orphan.

Over the series there were a number of deaths caused by Emily's machinations.

I tuned out out when the plots became unbelievably tangled – false identities, lovers, business deals, adultery, jealousy – it was all there, the seven deadly sins and some.

Now, in this last series, Emily's father reappears.

I've just been watching the trailers so how he was reincarnated and whether he was worth all the effort, I don't know.  

But it sure makes nonsense of so many, many episodes, but I guess those who stuck to the series through angst following angst are loving it.

THE ABC must spend a fortune on Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries and it's worth it.

The 1920s settings and clothes are just superbly done, but I can't imagine how difficult it was to recreate a 1920s airfield with suitable planes seen in a recent episode.

Essie Davis is marvellous as Phyrne Fisher, the private investigator who just happens to be there when people get murdered in Melbourne and environs.

Although Phryne sleeps with who she likes, she still, I don't think, has tumbled into bed with the handsome Police Inspector played by Nathan Page, but the chemistry ignites every episode.

The series also doesn't shy away from the issues of the day and especially the Protestant- Catholic divide.

Dot, Phyrnne's companion, is engaged to Hugh, the police sergeant, but she's Catholic and he's not.

He's now undertaking conversion but his family are so outraged they've chucked him out of his home.

The proposed conversion brought out another topic, feminism.

Dot wants to work after marriage and Hugh feels she should stay at home and just be a wife and mother and he finds a message to that effect in the Catholic teachings.

This is the third series and I hope there are more to come.
