If you appreciate charming English villages, intriguing mysteries, and a bit of dark humor, Midsomer Murders is a show you may really enjoy. This long-running British detective series is set in the picturesque–and deceptively deadly–fictional county of Midsomer, where murder seems to lurk behind every hedgerow and manor house.
Each episode follows Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (and in later seasons, his cousin John Barnaby) as they unravel complex cases filled with quirky suspects, surprising twists, and more than a few eccentric motives. From murders involving local festivals to sinister secrets buried deep in the past, Midsomer Murders balances suspense with a fun dose of British wit.
Perfect for cozy evenings or rainy weekends, this series is ideal for fans of Agatha Christie or Father Brown. With over 20 seasons to enjoy, it’s a show that keeps on giving. Check it out from our library’s DVD collection or stream the first season using the BingePass feature on Hoopla!
