The charm of these mysteries lies in the quaint cottages, beautiful estates and adorable villages of Midsomer County. The killers are hard to figure out. The jargon of Britishers can be hard to understand, especially without subtitles on these disks, which are, alas, not provided. It sounds like they refer to people occasionally as punters? for example, and I have no idea what that means. I may be hearing some words wrong. A real flaw lies in the audio editing, or lack of. The speakers often whisper, or mumble, and then extra loud music, or shouting, comes on unexpectedly. I have to keep my remote handy, as I am constantly adjusting the volume. In fact, if I view these disks with a window open, I sometimes cannot hear the mumbling or whispering at all, even with the tv set on full volume, another indication that subtitling is needed. But all in all, I love the entire series. The only set I have left to get is set 13. After the fourteenth season, John Nettles is retiring. He will be missed, though his insipid wife will not be. Honestly, the scenery alone, shot on location in English country villages, will make you want to move to England!Read full review
this was a great TV series that I only discovered much later on PBS during (perhaps ) their 2nd or 3rd rebroadcasting. Dry humor and wit in each episode, especially between the seasoned unflappable Chief Inspector Barnaby and his hapless sidekick detective. Great British countryside settings and a never ending supply of remarkable characters, often in guest roles from other branches of BBS television and British theatre.

A most entertaining British series! Terrific acting & great stories. Only wish there were subtitles with every season, though. I'm hard of hearing & their accents get in the way sometimes.

One of the best parts of this series for me is the scenery. You are taken to one quaint village after the other, all of which are nestled in the idyllic English countryside. I love the thatch roof cottages, ivy covered manors, well-tended gardens, charming store fronts and tea houses and let’s not forget the cozy little pubs that make you want to go out and get yourself a pint! Midsomer Murders is one of my all time favorite series! Highly recommended.
Midsomer Murders are an outstanding series. Just think you can have an entertaining program without sex and the way they portray the murders is very acceptable.
