Midsomer Murders: Tom Barnaby's Last Cases

RE-released as a murderously good set for those catching up.
Murder- rampant & mystifyingly delicious. DCI Barnaby (John Nettles) has taken on the fictional Midsomer County murder abundance since 1997 and this set is his final feature-length murder stories. But you'll be booking a flight to London (filming done in rural hamlets just outside London) to have tea with scones in the green of some village, excitedly waiting for the next bludgeoning murder. Prev sets:17 to 20. All good.

Wife Joyce (Jane Wymark), great cook, companion, and in charge of lightening the story with homespun gentleness. Barnaby's dialogue/murder solving companion adds comedy. Show guest stars make this a fresh dynamic series each time. With every episode, predicting Who Dun It? is impossible. Just try!

Multiple murders in every episode are a trademark, intended from the very beginning, by the writers/producers to make Midsomer Murders unique. And no swearing, but plenty of good "Midsomer family" murder mystery--the murder almost never seen, just the...

Great series
This was the culmination of a very fine series. We will miss Tom and Joyce Barnaby and all the rest of the characters we've come to love over the years. It's a well done show.

British Detectives at their best
My wife and I are big fans of anything British detective series. Midsomer is one of the best. It deals not only in mystery and murder, but Tom Barnaby actually has a life outside of his work. He has a wife, daughter and various characters who inhabit his rural type community. Sgt Troy his assistant adds some youth and a different view point on the current investigation and life in general. Along with the sometime brutal murders there is also added some humor that meets the occasion. A great series would have given this set five stars, but no closed caption for my old ears. Still for some reason they speak clearer then on most British series and I can understand them. Highly recommend for all Britsh detective enthusiasts.
