Midsomer Murders

Midsomer County, set in idyllic South Oxfordshire, is a place of contrasts. Its landscapes and historic landmarks emanate peace, yet they frequently play host to some of television’s most beguiling murder mysteries. As DCI Tom Barnaby often remarks, “Nothing is ever as it seems”.

Leading the investigations are Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and, in the series’ later years, his astute cousin, DCI John Barnaby. Renowned in the pantheon of British detective series, their methodical approach unveils tales rife with age-old feuds, covert romances, and the unique challenges of rural life. Seamlessly blending traditional detective work with village quirks, the series has become a touchstone in British crime dramas.

With its evocative settings, “Badgers drift” or the local pub “The Ferret and Firkin”, and moments echoing the sentiment that “Murder is a deadly business,” Midsomer Murders entices viewers into its intricate web of suspense, drama, and unforeseen revelations.

The series showcases the undeniable talent of John Nettles as DCI Tom Barnaby and Neil Dudgeon, who steps into the investigative limelight as DCI John Barnaby. Supported by a robust ensemble cast, Midsomer Murders remains a captivating beacon for aficionados of mystery and drama alike. Dive deep into the heart of Midsomer, where beneath the calm, a storm of secrets perpetually brews.
