Edward L @Glyndower Feb 18 One of the best 'cozy crime' series as proved by its longevity. One of the best aspects is that the victims are usually people of whom we would all like to see the back!

See more 06/06/2022 It really bothers me that no one moves out of the way even when they see something that will hurt them coming their way. I know that sometimes it would take away from the story, but at least a few times people should be shown as being able to stand aside. See more 01/20/2022 Midsomer Murders has consistently been one of the most intelligent and highly entertaining police mystery series ever created. It's taken the understated English humour and prized eccentricity, and mined it for all its worth. The settings, the bucolic English countryside and the ancient characterful villages with their pubs, their churches, their thatched cottages and grand houses, and their half-crazed inhabitants rich and poor all add immeasurably. There's the unending stream of local corpses strewn over the manicured lawns or abandoned in some golden woodland presenting a grizzly and delightful contrast to all that niceness, the wonder being how populated these villages seem to remain. Then there's the always dependable John Nettles (Neil Dudgeon since 2011) as Inspector Barnaby (a "normal" policeman for a change with a happy marriage and no demons) and his fellow cast, Jason Hughes, Jane Wymark, Barry Jackson and the continuous parade of the best of English, Scottish and Irish character actors, all of whom must have so much fun playing their little part in this very the best of UK television. Oh, and I mustn't forget the theme and background music written by the very talented and prolific Jim Parker, clever and always appropriate, another vital part of the greater whole. Yes, a series that's so long, one could watch from Episode 1, Series 1, and continue to Episode 6 of Series 22, then go back to Episode 1, Series 1 and watch them all again!
