MIDSOMER MURDERS: Series 17
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Midsomer Murders addict of many long years. Love the locations, photography is amazing with pastoral views, quaint and “chocolate box” village scenes. The usual eccentric and suspicious characters. Lots of murder ! In this 2 disc set, there are 4 episodes.
1. The Dagger Club
2. Murder by Magic
3. The Ballad of Midsomer
4. A Vintage Murder
372 minutes of Midsomer……Charlie Nelson is the DS in these episodes, if you are a longtime viewer, there is nothing not to like. Although these are good, I am currently watching Series 18, and I would rate it slightly better, and a must have ! Although the murders provide a central focus and plot….the best aspect of Midsomer Murders are the villages, the countryside, the awesome forest scenes and photography. It’s almost like taking a vacation to the best of the English midlands. Prepare a pot of tea, some biscuits or scones with clotted cream and lemon curd and settle in on a cold weekend…:) or not.-Texas Jack
Although I do not agree with some reviews that call this the “worst Midsomer Murders series ever,” I do think that the recent change in style doesn’t work as well. This series still has a certain amount of humor, but it seems that the new production team is determined to add a Waking the Dead-style edginess that is somewhat foreign to the Midsomer Murders tradition. I hope that they don’t go more in this direction, or this may become a case of a program that is not sure what it is. A lot of us Midsomer Murders fans might miss John Nettles, but Neil Dudgeon is a great successor to the original Chief Inspector Barnaby. Highly recommended, but producers, please don’t completely change the character of the show…-JPfromOH
I have watched almost every episode of Midsomer Murdersover . It’s an excellent British murder mystery series with interesting stories and quirky actors. Some of the performances by supporting actors are a bit overwrought, but you will often see familiar actors taking a role on the side, as it were. I rate it one star below the original series with John Nettles and Jane Wymark. Neil Dudgeon just didn’t fit my idea of an Inspector Barnaby. However, Gwilym Lee was much better as Barnaby’s DS assistant than Jason Hughes -Texas Jack
