MURDER SET PIECES SYNOPSIS FULL
If it can't be all that mysterious, then can it at least be funny? Instead, we're stuck not with daffy, eccentric characters whom we laugh at before they're bumped off, but rather with depressing humdrums like Les Dennis' loser local historian, who's in full denial about his economic situations (and I thought he was annoying on Corrie.), or James Murray's unintentionally amusing AWOL PTSD suspect (he doesn't look menacing when he glowers like that.he looks painfully irregular).
MURDER SET PIECES SYNOPSIS SERIES
This is a Christmas ghost story, from the country that invented the genre, set in a TV series once noted for its delightfully aberrant, black English humor. But seriously.I'm the worst at figuring out these crimes and even I spotted the murderer a half-hour into this strangely dour outing. Written by Chris Murray, The Christmas Haunting has the components of a potentially successful Midsomer, including a pretty decent set-up (murders committed in "haunted" settings), an age-old grudge carried over into modern times, and the classic Midsomer clash between moneyed elite (who are corrupt to the bone) and the working class hoi-polloi to underpin the characters' mercenary motives (Mark Heap and Nadia Cameron-Blakey are appropriately odious as the Fergus-Johnsons). Let's dispense with the least noteworthy element of The Christmas Haunting, and that's the mystery, unfortunately. Barnaby and Nelson investigate the true motives behind the villagers' paranormal proclivities." His first case involves a stabbing death during a ghost-hunting party at the Morton Shallows manor house.

recently transferred from the London Metropolitan Police. John Barnaby is now aided in his inquiries by Detective Sergeant Charlie Nelson (Jason Hughes), a strapping, marginally gung ho D.S. Bodies drop like flies-and in the most appalling ways-and now it's up to Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) of the Causton Criminal Investigation Department, to clean up the mess. Not to spend too much time on recapping the series for the twenty-second time, but to briefly acquaint new readers with the basic set-up, Midsomer Murders details the bizarrely continuous mayhem (which nobody notices or cares to comment on) that afflicts rural, affluent (and wholly fictitious) Midsomer County, England. Each mystery is essentially "stand alone," so newcomers aren't a problem. Having reviewed twenty-one (!) previous sets of Midsomer Murders episodes, I can assure you that if you're not familiar with the series, don't feel that you can't begin watching the show, even this late in the game. Quite a few extras this time around, for these sparklingly perfect widescreen transfers.

As for this collection of episodes, they're a largely desultory affair (save for one, maybe), with a curiously detached, matter-of-fact, by-the-numbers approach that seems miles away from the old sly, perversely funny outings that were the hallmark of the series in its prime. Even that woeful mongrel Sykes looks depressed at that development. Even bigger news: the Barnabys have a baby ("It's time now for that whacky situational family comedy mystery, The Midsomer Murders Bunch!").

Big news for fans of the series (of which I count myself, lest the negative tone throw you)-there's a brand new sidekick for the sorta new Barnaby: handsome, young, demographically desirable Welsh ratings bait actor Gwilym Lee checks in as Detective Sergeant Charlie Nelson (.to surprisingly little effect so far). Episodes included here are The Christmas Haunting, Let Us Prey, Wild Harvest, The Flying Club, and the series' 100th episode, The Killings of Copenhagen, shot partially in Denmark (.to distressingly little effect). murder mystery's 16th "series" (season), which originally aired in England from December, 2013, to February, 2014. Acorn has released Midsomer Murders: Set 25, a 3-disc, 5-episode collection of the first half of the U.K.
