I cannot say enough about this series. It is wonderful, if love mysteries as I do. Barnaby's partners...he's had several throughout the years...have their own little habits and quirks, which adds to the stories. Love the fact Barnaby's wife can't cook, which adds some humor to the stories. Although these are murder mysteries and have the "who done it" aspect, there is a lighter side revealed. The acting is great, the stories are interesting, and most times the outcomes are surprising. Seldom, if ever, is the butler the villian. Having visited the Engish countryside, these bring back memories of times past. The scenery, buildings, flowers are beautiful indeed...great photography and excellent advertisements for encouraging travel to Great Britain. Midsomer is my favorite mystery series. Although I love A Touch of Frost, Lynley, and other English movies, Midsomers are the best.Read full review
I've got the complete set now. These are very compelling mysteries taking place in beautiful English countryside settings. Lots of details about English country life, excellent acting, multiple subplots which don't interfere with the main thrust of each program. We watch them over and over. Probably a little slow moving for many Americans used to car crashes and gunfights but visually and intellectually stimulating (particularly to Anglophiles). This is an excellent 4 program set (especially Orchid Fatalis).
So love Midsomer Murders. Have been a fan for too many years. I get lost in the moments of the drama and enjoy the cunning outcomes of the plot. They are just so enjoyable and fun. A downright treat. Can’t wait to move over there to one of those little villages and take up country life and introduce everyone to some good ole’ grits and gravy.

I have every edition of the Midsomer Murders and there have not been a program that I didn't like. The acting is outstanding typical British humor. I would also note that anyone, no matter, what age can watch each program.

Midsomer Murders are a very interesting assortment of characters who have hidden secrets. Barnaby listens intently, asks the right questions and when 'solved' it isn't whom you expect. Enjoyable for those who like trying to figure out who did it, and where will it go next.
