My Life is Murder Series 1-4 Unboxing

My Life is Murder is the perfect blend of murder, mystery, intrigue, and even a dash of romance. This modern whodunnit delivers killer cases and sharp humour, with the legendary Xena star Lucy Lawless dazzling as the sharp-witted, sourdough-making private investigator Alexa Crowe. This is cosy crime at its best, as the mysterious murders take a back seat to the show’s focus on humour and charm. Star-studded guest appearances from national treasure Bill Bailey, Lawless’s Xena co-star Renée O’Connor, and even Star Trek icon William Shatner add to the fun, all set against the stunning backdrops of Melbourne and Auckland. A global hit since its Acorn TV debut, fans can now happily binge Series 1–4 on DVD and digital from Monday 30 June – just in time to get hooked before Series 5 arrives!

Synopsis

Award-winning actress Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) stars in this contemporary mystery series as retired police officer Alexa Crowe. With her old boss (Bernard Curry) regularly asking for her insight on cold cases and a young police data analyst, Madison (Ebony Vagulans), eager-to-be-mentored Alexa can’t seem to stop solving crimes.

Series 2 and 3 see Alexa return to her New Zealand hometown of Auckland, where she is called upon to investigate puzzling murders by charismatic DI Harry Henare (Rawiri Jobe, The Brokenwood Mysteries). Madison soon joins Alexa and ends up closer than ever to her mentor – literally, as she moves into Alexa’s apartment. In Series 4, when a case digs up her painful past, Alexa herself becomes a suspect, and she’ll need her friends’ help more than ever to clear her name.

My Life is Murder Series 4 and Series 1 – 4 Box Set arrive on DVD and digital 30 June from Acorn Media International
