Plots(1)
The cozy villages of Midsomer County reveal their most sinister secrets in these contemporary British television mysteries. Inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, modern master of the English village mystery, the series stars John Nettles as the unflappable Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby. Daniel Casey costars as Barnaby's earnest young assistant, Sergeant Troy. When Troy wins a promotion and transfer, Barnaby gets a partner of a different stripe. Sergeant Dan Scott (John Hopkins) is a streetwise Londoner who mistakenly expects an easy, dull life on the rural beat. (official distributor synopsis)

Ever since I was a kid, I've enjoyed watching TV more for the thrills than the laughs, and I often get that in droves when watching this English gem. For me, English films and TV series are some of the best and this series has confirmed my belief. I really like the bleak and often rainy setting of the English countryside where murdering anyone, anything and everything is the order of the day – sometimes I wonder if they must have murdered at least one whole village at some point. But that's just a detail! The plots of the episodes are always brand new and unique and I have never been able to pinpoint the perpetrators, which has only reinforced my belief in the high quality of this series. And even though the running time is more than double compared to a lot of series, the creators don't waste a single minute and the plot layout is great. In short, a crime series with everything, where among other things I really like the opening and closing depressing melody played on theremin (btw the craziest instrument I've ever seen and heard), which is the last part of an already pretty perfect whole.

In the midst of the repulsive detective wildness spewing out of television screens with incredible cadence, Detective Barnaby and his old-school conversations in a typically English style caress the soul. Finally, a detective story with very intricate and honestly-knotted stories with the overtones of the mystery of Albion's detective classics, with a charismatic hero whose humor and charm serve better than fists and nine-millimeter arguments. Very decently cast, well written, very sensitively directed and, moreover, the ubiquitous subtle irony delights the sore souls of fans of good detective stories.
