Midsomer Murders
Created by Anthony Horowitz, Caroline Graham
The peacefulness of the Midsomer community is shattered by violent crimes, suspects are placed under suspicion, and it is up to a veteran DCI and his young sergeant to calmly and diligently eliminate the innocent and ruthlessly pursue the guilty. From TMDB

60 of 307 · most liked firstI snobbishly think I come across as pretty sophisticated & highbrow in my viewing habits but however clever & expensive the latest hot series is, I must say that they never quite bring the joy I get binging John Nettles era Midsomer Murders when I go and visit my Mum.
positive · AI labelView post →people who complained about #MidsomerMurders lack of diversity didn't get that it’s a show about dispelling the myth of white supremacist solidarity. so much of the white-on-white violence is by nepobaby manchildren pissed they can’t keep riding on their families’ names & fortunes. the show is not only a master class on the consequences of late-stage #capitalism. it’s brilliant at showing the decline of English hegemony & the villainy of British class #warfare. #tv #britpop #culture

He is best known for his starring roles as detectives in the crime drama television series Bergerac (1981–1991) in the title role, and Midsomer Murders (1997–2011) as Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby. #JohnNettles

neutral · AI labelView post →My lady has introduced me to Midsomer Murders & now I'm hooked. A stealthily great series. Remarkable not just for how long it ran but how self-knowing it managed to be without becoming cutesy. Love how much they stretch the established format as they go along. Deadliest county in England for sure.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight I watched Midsomer Murders for the first time since Guy the Cat died in March. When Guy would hear the theme music, he’d come running and jump up on my recliner and watch with me. When his brother Leonidas was alive, he’d join us. Rest in Peace, Guy the Murdercat & Leonidas the Fluffmonster.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm half way into series 15 of Midsomer Murders. Some notes: The most-uttered last words of the murdered are "Oh it's you". The most dangerous events known to man are village fetes. Every English actor must be a murderer & the murdered at least once. Midsomer has at least 1000 villages.

But like if you like this there's like 100 episodes of Midsomer Murders!
positive · AI labelView post →Finally got around to watching The Thursday Murder Club--really enjoyed it (it's right up my alley, given my viewing habits--Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, Midsomer Murders, classic Christie adaptations, and on and on...🙂). Hope they adapt other novels in the series.
neutral · AI labelView post →Midsomer Murders is a wild show and no one believes me when I tell them about the wonderful ridiculousness of it.
positive · AI labelView post →Celia Imrie of Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Midsomer Murders, AbFab the Movie, Bridget Jones series, etc. etc. is somewhere in this as a maid. Like blink-and-you'll-miss-her ^PG #TCMParty #DOTN
neutral · AI labelView post →Wicket has been snoozing on his perch, waking up from dozing now and then to ask when ‘Midsomer Murders’ will be on. I love the show too, especially Tom-episodes (nothing against John, I delight in his as well. Just love Tom is all) but Wicket roots for the killers and it’s really disdainful.
positive · AI labelView post →I always had the hots for Midsomer Murders Neil Dudgeon. This is the only time I found a nude scene of his. This was from The Mrs Bradley Mysteries series.
neutral · AI labelView post →in other words, notwithstanding the ridiculousness of some of the murders, #MidsomerMurders is #woke as fuck #tv #britpop #culture
positive · AI labelView post →Streaming TV like Amazon Prime etc needs “shuffle” mode for TV series. Like if I click on Midsomer Murders don’t make me pick a season and an episode. Offer a random one. Especially for shows with a shitload of episodes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Series 25 of #MidsomerMurders premieres December 8th on Acorn TV.
neutral · AI labelView post →Caroline Graham, author of the novels that the longrunning "Midsomer Murders" tv series is based on, is still with us. She is 93.
neutral · AI labelView post →At the risk of sounding a bit cheeky, "Midsomer Murders" is both the perfect 'cosy mystery' show and a brilliant 'nap show'. It's not bad by any means, but by god, if I'm remotely drowsy, I WILL nod off whilst watching it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fuck it, bring in Sean Pertwee to play The Third Doctor and give the show to the Midsomer Murders people for a season set in the stranded on earth working for UNIT era in the 70s.
neutral · AI labelView post →RE: https://mastodon.social/@zackwhittaker/116929779183940055 various plot points in #MidsomerMurders were written based on exactly this: cops having access to the victims health-tracker data. tbh that show is an #infosec #surveillance #stalkerware nightmare.
neutral · AI labelView post →2/2 This week I've been watching the Sykes years of Midsomer Murders for the very first time on ITV+. I gave up on the original series decades ago. It felt repetitive and vaguely homophobic. Then I gave up my TV. I'm pleased to report the homophobia is gone. And animal actor Sykes is adorable. 👇
positive · AI labelView post →Good news! More #MidsomerMurders on the way!!! Maybe this be the season that Sarah Barnaby ( @fionadolman.bsky.social) solves a murder on her own?! 🤞🏼
neutral · AI labelView post →Why are English TV series such as Midsomer Murders so popular in the UK – and beyond? What sets the Midsomer atmosphere apart from Poirot, Marple & Co.? My half-hour read explores this in an essay-like way. #SkyStorians #AcademicSky #🗃️
neutral · AI labelView post →2/2 This week I binged on the Neil Dudgeon episodes of Midsomer Murders (after the show became a bit more culturally inclusive and far less homophobic). One episode stands out as worthy of - and also a great tribute to - Agatha Christie. Free-to-stream on itvX.
positive · AI labelView post →Sat up in bed with fan on me. The parrots have taken baths earlier. Now put the first series of Midsomer Murders on. At least I can switch off my brain for a bit.

positive · AI labelView post →New Brokenwood Mysteries series just dropped on Acorn! They’re releasing episodes weekly. Think Midsomer Murders but in New Zealand with a main detective who has a classic car and a love of country music. It’s wonderful if bonkers mystery shows are your thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a great point, Midsomer Murders is the only show keeping this ancient craft alive
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched it for free on PrimeVideo, along with the series of Columbo, Monk, & Midsomer Murders (a famous murder series, with a hint of humor, based out of England) . Now, I’m binging Agatha Christie’s Poirot on Britbox. I no longer watch mainstream TV.
neutral · AI labelView post →A fun game while watching Midsomer Murders is guessing how many seasons it takes before they show a single nonwhite actor
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Midsomer Murders because the show posits that in small village England, every single person is capable of the pettiest, most heinous murder you can imagine. But not only capable of it, fundamentally willing and able to do it as well.
positive · AI labelView post →I just discovered there are 24 series of Midsomer Murders, and I don't remember watching a single one.
neutral · AI labelView post →One thing I love about Midsomer Murders is that not a single villager will ever let a pesky series of murders delay a heavily anticipated craft fair.
positive · AI labelView post →ITV have announced that Midsomer Murders has been renewed for a 26th series. Both Neil Dudgeon and Nick Hendrix will return as John Barnaby and DS Winter. #MidsomerMurders #itv #uktv
neutral · AI labelView post →You should watch Midsomer Murders. It’s a UK series been going for years. There are about 3 murders per 2hr episode and usually the killer is someone who appears in the last 15 minutes. Murder methods include a huge wheel of cheese and being crushed in an exercise machine. No two deaths are the same
positive · AI labelView post →#MidsomerMurders will return for its 24th series next year on ITV1 (available overseas for a year already). More details and stories: www.tvzoneuk.com/post/midsome...
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the things I like about Tom Barnaby on Midsomer Murders is that he always makes a show of swiping his feet several times on the mat before entering the murder suspect's house. And feels like each episode has 4 or 5 bodies with a dozen suspects each, so it ends up being a lot of extra effort.
positive · AI labelView post →What’s a movie or show you can watch over and over and over and it doesn’t get old? (English language version) Vicar of Dibley Midsomer Murders Brooklyn 99 Clue Best Medicine Doc Martin (telly and movies) X Files Supernatural Farscape Fringe Man Like Mobeen Taskmaster (rewatching right now)
neutral · AI labelView post →am columbusing that everybody who is or has been anybody in the British entertainment business has been on #MidsomerMurders. so they’re the brit analog to USA’s Law & Order. am not sure that’s a good thing. so far i’ve seen episodes with: Peter Capaldi (Dr. Who) John Castle (Miss Marple) Philip Jackson (Poirot) Nancy Carroll (Father Brown) David Burke (Sherlock Holmes) Sarah Alexander (Coupling) and i’ve recognized many more secondary character actors. i should keep a tally.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you enjoy the show, you should check out the @mysterymaniacs.bsky.social, which began life as the Midsomer Murders podcast. It's hysterical.
neutral · AI labelView post →Was trying to explain Midsomer Murders to the terminally offline (“that’s an old people’s show!” Said the 44 year old to me) and could only describe it as unintentional comedy for it to make sense as a viewing choice
neutral · AI labelView post →I've started series 19 of Midsomer Murders, Natashas only do that when they're VERY distressed.

neutral · AI labelView post →So I love a murder mystery and someone said a classic is Midsomer Murders. Honestly it seems to be the bloodiest tv series ever made? Not sure it ever goes below four corpses per episode. Anyone know a slightly less gruesome classic that I could turn to?
neutral · AI labelView post →This is very good. Molcher makes a good point about Midsomer Murders being folk horror series.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, today's episode of our weekly Midsomer Murders watch is already bonkers, with a mother and son turning up at a village fête. Except they were both brutally killed a few series ago. Barnaby seems quite surprised.
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone wants a pointless New Year's Resolution, how about watching Midsomer Murders, in order, from series 1 episode 1 up to present day? We've been doing 1 a week for a few months & Monday nights have been greatly improved by Barnaby's passive aggression towards Troy's puppy-like enthusiasm.
positive · AI labelView post →I watch Midsomer Murders every night when I go to sleep. I love that show.
positive · AI labelView post →3/3 Frodo, the owner of the coffee truck notices this. Frodo (my favourite minor character of the series): "Tie-dyeing isn't as easy as you think.I tried it once." 🤣🤣🤣 Nothing, not even Midsomer Murders, comes close to matching the wit of the writing here. It really is unique.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm happy because the weather is cool, these tulips are blooming longer and brightening my day. I ought to have continued clearing my garden, but was saved by the rain! ☔️ I made a basic Finnish rainbow trout soup for dinner and watched my old favorite series: Midsomer Murders. 🍜
