Customer Reviews

If you turn a stone in a village, one never knows what one will discover
Something on this line was said by one of the most famous "village detectives" of all times: Mrs. Marple.

And this is the essence of the Midsomer Murders. In the idyllic setting of the English countryside murder and deceit is lurking. Inspector Barnaby and his sergeant follow the leads and discover the truth. It is a quite, sometimes funny, never too bloody, not the typical US style of crime investigation with massive chases, but an interesting and captivating one. It is highly enjoyable and the actors create theirs characters in a great way. Barnaby's wife and daughter lend support and character to the cast and humanize the main characters.

I can not at all understand why the previous reviewer trashed the Midsommer Murders. I enjoyed every episode and I am very sure you will too.

Midsomer Murders
I have all the collections of Midsomer Murders and (pre)ordered the collections to come. This means that I like the series very much. There is, however, a single restriction. I have also the complete series of Hercule Poirot, Sir John Deed, Sherlock Holmes, Cadfael, Miss Marple etc. and what I appreciate in them is that (English) subtitles for the hearing impaired are provided. This would be very useful in Midsomer Murders as well. I write, understand and speak English, but I am not a native speaker (my native tongue is Dutch), and would like the Midsomer Murder series still more if such subtitles were provided.

Very Mediocre
This group of episodes includes one or two moderately good plots however the majority are very poor, lacking in subtlety and detail. Some of the characters make a few attempts at humours which are feeble at best. Altogether a very poor advert for the other series.
Early scripts for Midsomer were written by Anthony Horowitz who adapted then from the original works by Caroline Graham. The script writers for this series sadly fall well short of the standards set by Anthony.
