DVD Reviews of Midsomer Murders: Set 10
DVD Review: Particularly Strong Mysteries in this Series
Summary: 5 Stars
"Midsomer Murders Set Ten"is a boxed, 4 volume set of four contemporary, stand-alone British mysteries, each approximately 100 minutes long, from a popular British TV hit. The television series first aired in the United Kingdom in March, 1997. In the United States, the series has been seen on "A & E" and "The Biography Channel." New episodes are still in production (more than 60 full-length mysteries have already aired.) The characters are based on those created by Caroline Graham; the series was originally adapted by acclaimed scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz (Foyle's War: Series 1-5 - From Dunkirk to VE-Day.) Special features include a Graham biography and cast filmographies, but, unfortunately, no subtitles, as all the characters speak rather softly, and John Nettles, the series' star, tends to swallow his words. However, you should be able to follow the action well enough without the subtitles.
The series is set in the fictional, lovely, countryside village of Midsomer; and it certainly is green, quaint, and scenic. It's a classic "cozy" setting; lovely village, denizens upset by a murder, villain found; everything back to normal again. It stars John Nettles (BERGERAC ); as Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, hard-working family man and astute detective, and John Hopkins (Love in a Cold Climate) as his assistant Sergeant Dan Scott. The series also features many esteemed guest stars, including Annette Crosbie, Oliver Ford Davies, Owen Teale, June Whitfield, Geoffrey Whitehead, and David Burke. Unfortunately, I still find Nettles' character Barnaby to be rather the hole in the donut, nor does Hopkins' character Scott add much flavor. But the supporting players all bring a lot of spice to the screen, and the makers haven't stinted in the making of this series. Plenty of extras, animal and human, lots of local color. And these four mysteries are particularly strong. They are:
1.Second Sight. Villagers in Midsomer Mere claim psychic powers; a mysterious death brings Barnaby and Scott into their midst.
2.Hidden Depths. A series of bizarre murders; Chateau Laffite wine used as an extremely expensive murder weapon.
3.Sauce for the Goose. A visitor dies an unappetizing death while touring Plummer's relish factory.
4.Midsomer Rhapsody. Successful local composer Joan Alder has been dead for decades, is half-forgotten, until a series of odd events revives interest in her life and work.
This TV series is really quite enjoyable; the mysteries are challenging, interesting, many-layered, off-beat. And original - you won't see anything like them anywhere else.
