I finished watching all that was on Hulu but I think there are more episodes. Wikipedia says there were 16 seasons, 263 episodes but Hulu only went through season 13.

Great show, glad there are so many others enjoying it. Don't skip the Christmas episodes! And George is terrific.

Nikola Tesla
Alexander Graham Bell
Arthur Conan Doyle
Houdini

And so many more.

And Murdochs use of early forensics is just so interesting.

I remember George discovering Pizza for the first time.

Edited to add: when I started watching it it was called "The Artful Detective" in the US.
