Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Kirpianuscus It is easy to define it as an old fashion British crime serie. different for rhytm and texture and spirit by American productions of same genre. in fact, it represents more. first, a special character,for realistic stories, for humor and for the science to be more than a brilliant crime serie. it is a trip in Midsomer universe, exploring its habits and people and vulnerabilities. not a lesson about justice but, often, a compassion one. a gifted serie. real fascinating.
mhmcneece Always a good story! Or two or four! We need more tv like this!
thobelman I am an American who loves and enjoys most BBC productions. I especially love the various English murder mystery series. But this series left me somewhat befuddled, and I could not watch more than the first series (which I simply could not finish). While many reviewers say it is meant to be humorous or tongue-in-cheek, I can't seem to get past certain issues I consider integral to murder mysteries. For example, Sergeant Toby is portrayed as "dumb as a box of rocks." But, it would be unlikely that a police officer who has worked their way up to the rank of sergeant and is partnered with a DCI on Murder cases would be unable to think his way out of a paper bag. And, the constant contempt, insults and bad treatment by Barnaby seems exactly that and nothing more. A much more intelligent, witty (and sometimes contentious) parallel relationship is expertly done in the George Gently series where the sergeant is smart and perceptive (if a little misguided) and makes significant contributions to investigations. In Midsomer Murders, the characters come across to me as unrealistic and campy, and in some instances, the show reminds me of poor quality, B-grade horror movies. While I agree with many comments about the attention to details of the settings and interiors of homes, I feel there are important elements that are missing from a good Detective series. But, I have probably missed the point here and recognize that the series is just not my cup of tea.
dchambers-73709 The acting is superb and the writing was witty. Just found this a few weeks ago and have now watched all the episodes I can. I love the characters and the way they interact with each other and the landscape. Speaking of landscape, the areas where this is filmed are simply stunning. I love crime shows and this ranks up there with some of the very best. The crimes are brilliantly played out and seem like they are plausible. It is nice to watch a crime show that doesn't rely on flashy gun work or car chases. You have to pay attention and think it out. So happy I stumbled on it.
