Manic Pixie Dream Girl Bobby Brackenreid refers to the very specific lens through which I view the recurring character Bobby Brackenreid from long-running Canadian period drama murder mystery show Murdoch Mysteries. Bobby is the youngest child of Chief Constable Thomas Brackenreid, one of the show’s main characters. This is a niche with which only I and a small handful of people with whom I have shared this really engage, essentially being my personal Murdoch Mysteries Weltanschauung that I swear makes sense once you deep dive enough into my twisted mind palace (this shrine).
