Any fans of Midsomer Murders here.?

5. I enjoyed them at first.

Then they got tedious.

They almost all seem to deal with suspects engaging in deviant sexual practices, like incest and molestation. Back in the early 2000's when the show originally aired, homosexuality was included in the plots as one of the 'deviant' practices. If the series was launched today, there would likely be a lot less of the breathless 'can you imagine?' talk among the main characters about a suspect or murder victim who was gay.

Barnaby, his wife, and his daughter are all thoroughly charming. If the show was a domestic drama focusing on them, I'd probably still enjoy it.
