    Murder mysteries in magnificent Midsomer
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2007*

If British Detective stories are to your liking, the Midsomer Murder Mysteries will completely captivate your attention and your pleasure.Set in the most English of English countrysides, Detective Chief  Inspector Tom Barnaby (played, admirably, by John Nettles) solves the most devious of crimes with intuition, common sense, luck - and humour. Occasionally, a bright suggestion from his Sergeant leads to the solution and, if this happens, Barnaby is the first to admit it.Barnaby's Sergeant, his 'side-kick', plays an integral part in every story. In the beginning Detective Sergeant Troy, played by Daniel Casey, was Tom Barnaby's 'bag carrier' but, later, Detective Sergeant Dan Scott (played by John Hopkins) took over the role.  Both these men were admirable in the part - although each had an individual slant to it.Barnaby's devoted and supportive wife, and his intelligent daughter, both play a role in the series' - to advantage. Without intruding, they manage to instill a realism to the story which is pleasing.If British Detection stories are your 'thing', this magnificent series' is for you. You will NOT be disappointed. You have my word for it!

    Large (dead) body count for small English villages
  

*by D***U on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2008*

One needs to employ the "willful suspension of disbelief" before viewing these wonderful programs, but well worth your trouble. I can't imagine murder being so popular in these beautiful English hamlets, as to render them barren and lifeless in just a few years. John Nettles plays Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, assigned to investigate each and every one of Midsomer County's seemingly endless murders. Barnaby is played as an "everyman" detective. Nothing flashy. Suit and tie, quiet and respectful in his demeanor, and has a very normal family life (wife and daughter) waiting for him at home each day. The fact that each episode is 100 minutes or more is crucial. It takes that long for each story to unfold properly. Each episode includes some of Great Britain's finest character actors and new "up and comers" who have since made it big. Honore Blackman and Orlando Bloom come to mind. Some even make it into more than one episode as different characters.  In addition, the location shooting in some of England's most gorgeous villages make the locations themselves an important reason to watch. The quaint village pubs and thatched roofs make one want to live there, if it weren't for those murderous townfolk.

    Another great set of episodes in this set!!
  

*by U***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2012*

First, allow me to say that I adore British Mysteries, yet not all of them. Midsomer Murders is one show that I adore. This is the fourth set I have purchased. This is another great set of episodes to view. There are five episodes here. There is quite a mix here from the victim with a zest for life to a pyschiatrist's children needing their heads examined, but not recognized by their mother, and poor Joyce Barnaby being caught up in her husband's investigaton. If British Mysteries are your thing, or you're just a fan of Midsomer, I highly recommend this set be added to your collection.
