Midsomer Murders, Set 22 [Blu-ray]

Back to Classic Midsomer!
In the U.K., these four mysteries were originally part of a season with four previous episodes, released here as "Set 21." Thankfully, these four stories return to the offbeat, humorous alternative universe that Midsomer fans crave. What could be more enticing than pints of bubbly cider with DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DI Ben Jones (Jason Hughes)? But beware, in Midomer County, even Beltane celebrations are treacherous. Children dance around a Maypole, whilst fat sausages roast under the refreshments tent, and the cider is not all it seems. Midsomer is a remarkably deadly place, a deceptively delicious chocolate box filled poisoned confections. Generations of loyal inhabitants risk life and limb to live in Midsomer's bucolic hills and dales. Thankfully, DCI John Barnaby is as gifted at detection as his cousin Tom. The Barnaby line is rooted in Midsomer's earth, they are dependable in never being surprised by bizarre occurrences. Nothing flummoxes or gobsmacks a true Barnaby...

Interesting
I was afraid I wouldn't like the series any longer with the departure of John Nettles. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed his replacement very much....and will continue to purchase each set as they come out. Midsomer will continue to be well protected by a Barnaby.

Great!
Great plots and twists. I am enjoying the new DCI very much. More beautiful English countryside and tea services as well!
