Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012-2015) is an Australian television series starring Essie Davies as the wealthy feminist private detective, Phryne Fisher.

The show has been adapted from the 15 detective novels written by Australian writer Kerry Greenwood and is set in and around Melbourne.

There are some episodes which feature care experienced characters. For example, in Series 1, Episode 2, Miss Fisher takes in a girl who has been an exploitative foster care placement.

Unfortunately, in Series 1, too, is a stereotypical serial killer character - Murdoch Foyle -who was raised in foster care.

Apart from Murdoch Foyle, most of the conversation is on the side of girls and women oppressed by men, and in some cases, by other women.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
