Canadian series about a police detective in 1890s Toronto. He uses early CSI-type techniques which were possibly just about possible at the time (including what he calls "fingermarks").
Various real-life characters have turned up such as Tesla, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, and Houdini. Also, some of the episodes have a steampunk feel to them such as this microwave deathray, and an airship disguised as a Martian invasion and a giant robot.
Runs on the alibi channel over here and season 6 has just ended. Only started watching it myself just before Easter and the alibi channel has been doing a catch-up repeat from season 1 at three in the morning. Now got to the end of season 3.
