User Reviews

a great mystery series
rating: 5

Its a real treat to watch the shows in the order they were shown on TV. You have to be very careful taking them out of the case. They bend real bad. The series is very well done and the acting is great. I can't wait for the next set to come out.

Great Series!
rating: 5

A friend told us about this murder series so I went out and got the very first episodes. There were about if not 20 dvr's in this box. My husband and I got hooked on it on the very first dvr and ended up buying the rest of the series. If you like murders mysteries like we do, this is for you but be prepared for several deaths in each program. In fact, with all the murders in Midsomer, I am surpirsed there is anyone left in the town.

All but the holder
rating: 5

The Early collection of Midsomer Murders is just great....but getting them off the plastic holder is Awful! If there is a trick to it, I haven't found it, (and have cracked one disc trying to get it)
On the other hand, once accessed and in the DVD player, well, it just doesn't get any better than that. As I have said for years, 'nobody does murder like the Brits,' and the Brits don't do any better than Midsomer Murders!
An added plus...this grandma and her 13 1/2 year-old grandson have bonded over beheadings, pitchforks though the tummy, and rifle blasts, much to said Grandson's mother's horror. (I love it!)

Excellent!

Midsommer Murders

We love this series! We were introduced to them from our Biography channel until they quit running it this year. Which was unfortunate for us, because we were hooked. This English series has "real" people acting. (Not everyone is a supermodel, or a size 0, or works out and has bulging muscles.) These actors are much more believeable because they could be your neighbor, your co-worker, family, etc. These episodes are about 2 hours in length and make for a nice diversion in the winter evening if you enjoy a good "whodunit". I don't think I have ever correctly guessed who the villian is until they were revealed at the end of the show. They have many multi twists and turns in their plots! A very entertaining series! I wish we had an American version like this!
