I have loved English mysteries since I first watched Sherlock Holmes; Foyle’s War being my favorite. This series is one of the newest although it has been on for twenty year and follows in the foot steps of Inspector Morse and continuing on with Inspector Lewis. This series, as well as most English mysteries, does not show the gory details of the murders or the intimate details of sex which allows us to use our own imagination. This series being set 12 is the first one to have closed captions, which makes it a lot easier to watch for those of the are a little hard of hearing.
This is my favorite TV show. It never disappoints. The English scenery, character development, enlightening and enjoyable social commentary, good plots, humor, terrific actors and acting—I can see the same episodes more than once and still enjoy them.

Clearly this series is 5 star! This is one of the most enjoyable British Mystery series ever created. All filmed on location in England, beautiful villages, homes, etc. Supberb acting too. The main actors are excellent, likeable, and believable. Clever mystery plots, great subplots. Never gory but always interesting. They will keep you guessing "who dunnit" till the end. (Many actors have now become quite famous...in one episode, not season 12 mind you Orlando Bloom is in it before his Lord of the Rings, Pirates of Caribean fame.)
English mysteries are always my favorites. They have more mystery less gore with some humor mixed in. I have see all series of this great set. This set has CC which has been missing from previous sets and the quality of the film is much improved. Midsomer Murders ranks right behind Foyle's way in my book of great English mystery. They seem to do it on low budget with great actors and performances.
The first time I heard of Midsomer murders was when I saw it on TV. I knew right away I needed to have the whole series. If you like murder mysteries, then you will enjoy this. With other shows, I am usually able to figure out who the killer is fairly early into the show, but with Midsomer Murders I almost never know until the very end! The actors/ actresses are wonderful. The only problem a person may have is sometimes understanding all that is said because of the English accent, although for me,I have had no problems. I highly recommend this series, you wont be sorry you bought it!
