ALL NEW EPISODES!

The English village mystery gets a contemporary spin in this hit British television series that has earned a worldwide following. Bucolic settings harbor macabre crimes and eccentric characters that are no match for DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, Life of Riley) and his assistant, DS Charlie Nelson (Gwilym Lee, Land Girls). “Delightful in a murderously charming way” (Leonard Maltin’s Movie Crazy). Guest stars include Amanda Burton, Claire Bloom, Joe Absolom, Andrew Lee Potts, Claudie Blakley, and Clarke Peters.

THE MYSTERIES:

The Dagger Club—When a hot new manuscript is stolen and its cover illustrator murdered, Barnaby and Nelson wonder who would kill to get their hands on the book.

Murder by Magic—A magic trick gone wrong exposes simmering tensions between members of St. Cyprian’s Church and a local pagan group.

The Ballad of Midsomer County—When the head of the Lower Crosby Folk Festival is killed, the detectives must determine if the motive was financial or far more personal.

A Vintage Murder—Sabotage of a party at Midsomer Vinae Winery appears to be the latest attempt to discredit the vineyard—until a dead body turns up on the premises.

Review :
Series 17 would be equivalent to "Set 26" in the old numbering system. It is new to DVD.
In 2014 Acorn Home Video started re-numbering all of their series based on the original British sequencing & series breakdown. In the 'set' numbering system (which often split each series into two sets), this would be set #26. I am actually surprised set 25 was issued under that number as Acorn had already switched to the series numbers and set 25 was the entire series 16.

To add more confusion, Acorn created special cheaper 3-disc sets for the big-box stores such as Costco. These have their own set numbers which can look like the regular disc sets, but have different episodes inside.

Now as for the episodes, I think the new cast has found their rhythm here. The series as a whole lost some of it's charm several years ago, but the new cast is adding new life and forming their own new relationships.

The series (seasons) are getting shorter each year, what was once 8 episode series under John Nettles has now been reduced down to 4.

There's Something Missing
I've been watching these on Acorn -- have seen 3 of 4 so far. The acting is still superb. Dudgeon is great as the new Inspector Barnaby and the rest of the ensemble are also excellent. The settings, as usual, are gorgeous. But something is missing. The plots seem artificial.Characters change without sufficient motivation. It's as if everyone's going through the motions, but without much feeling. I note that Brian True-May is gone, so perhaps that's what's missing. Don't get me wrong, these are still fun to watch, but this is (so far) one of the weakest seasons of Midsomer ever -- and I've watched and rewatched all of them. I also wonder whether they're planning to get Gwilym Lee his own show, or somehow transition him to Inspector here.

The feel I have is of a great franchise that is running on its previous glory, with all the parts but weak execution. I really hope it's a temporary aberration -- I've loved Midsomer.

Update -- Just watched the 4th show. It's a...

Review :
Excellent Series

I purchased this series from amazon UK in the Region 2/PAL version. All five episodes are excellent. The actor replacing Jason Hughes is very good and blends in smoothly with the rest of the cast. I really liked Jason Hughes (as DS Jones) and hated to see him leave but I think the new actor makes a good replacement. I think the running time for the series since John Nettles left is usually about 90 minutes whereas the original series with Mr. Nettles ran about 100 minutes. Even so these are excellent stories once you realize that Neil Dudgeon has different approach to the story and is not a Tom Barnaby clone. I was very happy to see the series continue. I don't get too concerned about run times as long as the show is entertaining and well done. I think Midsomer fans will be very well pleased with this set of mysteries.

It's Still Great!

The new DCI Barnaby continues to develop in this fine series. Barnaby's new Sergeant, Nelson, is an excellent addition. The relationship between Barnaby and his wife and dog is also on display here. All in all, a worthy continuation of one of the finest series ever on television. If you liked it before, you'll continue to like it here. One reviewer says this is supposed to be the last series. I certainly hope not! As long as Midsomer has people left to be murdered, I want to keep watching.

Region 1 DVD/Bluray Extras For Show Worthy of 100 Episodes - a Great Mystery Series!
"The Killings of Copenhagen" is the 100th Episode of a great mystery series, and the last story in Set 25. For this special event, the episode takes us back to Badger's Drift, the village which hosted the very first Midsomer Murder, in both the TV series (1997) and Caroline Graham's first Inspector Barnaby mystery novel (1987).

Just before the start of this Set 25, Sergeant Benjamin Jones (played by Jason Hughes), who has been at Barnaby's side from 2005 to 2013, was promoted to Detective Inspector. It's nobody's fault but Barnaby's, because he recommended the promotion. But as Jones has left Midsomer for Brighton, Barnaby needs a new sergeant. This Set (which corresponds to the English Series 16) introduces DS Charlie Nelson. Young, active, and a city-boy who has to be introduced to village ways.

I think Gwilym Lee does a good job stepping in as the new sergeant. He isn't Jones, he doesn't try to be - he is someone new. If you've been a faithful follower of...
