We are a nation of alcoholics anon, and that reaction is the most normal one to living in the Caracas of the English countryside.
>>71975548
That may be but c'mon, serial killer could be everywhere and they just sit there all like "bloody gud drink m8 no problems in this part ey"
>>71974325
His wife did it. Every time she joins a new club someone dies.

It's very comfy. I never even really follow the plot, or try to figure it out, but lying down to a long episode of midsomer murders is an experience.
>>71974958
yes
best episode fellas? for me its the punch and judy one where the murderer calls up his victim in punch's voice
or the one where it was the vicar and he jumps off the roof at the end
>>71975692
>or the one where it was the vicar
At least a third of the plotlines right there, the CofE needs to monitor its clergy more.
>>71975692
I like the one with the kung fu grandma.
>>71975724
they send the troublesome ones to the quiet countryside
show went to shit since John Nettles retired, tbqh
no longer worth watching
>>71975692
Anyone remember the one where a guy is killed in front of his wife with a catapult that shoots wine bottles?
>>71976042
I think the other guy who took it over isn't too bad.
Do people also watch any other britdectives?
Like Lewis, George Gently?
>>71976197
the other guy isn't bad, but Nettles' charm was what made the show unique
now it's just another dull British cop series
>>71976230
That's true
>>71976197
Lewis was good. Not as great as Morse, but it definitely had its moments.
George Gentley is interesting for its 60s/70s atmosphere but otherwise not very remarkable, it's fun tho.
>>71974325
>someone gets brutally murdered every week
The average is 3.3~ a week

I've never really understood where the stories take place. It feels like it's supposed to be one town but the locations and characters vary a lot.
>>71975524
I'm ITV, can you start working on Monday?
>>71976602
Think Midsomer is a fictional county, so it's different towns.
If you haven't watched this with your parents while your dad states he knows who the murderer is after 10 minutes you don't know SHIT about television.
When I was very young I saw an episode where a man in a mask went around killing people with a needle, injecting unsuspecting sunbathers and it scared the shit out of me.
>>71976042
It went to shit a bit before that, desu. Also Troy was the GOAT sidekick.
>>71976602
It's supposed to be set in a single county(Midsomer county, hence the name), somewhere in rural England. Most of the villages in Midsomer county are called Midsomer Something, which why the names are always similar. The county town is Causton, where Barnaby lives and works - he's a member of the Causton CID. The Causton CID is responsible for murder investigations, which is why he's always called into murder investigations. There's no real clues as to the supposed locations of Midsomer county, other than that's its not immediately near a large city like Birmingham or London, and not close to the sea.
>>71976725
Is that similar to how real counties work? Town names incorporate the county name into them? And there's a central/capital town within the county? Cool if true
>Mum and Dad let you stay up late and watch Midsomer Murders and Taggart on a Saturday night
feels fuckin comfy desu
>>71976779
THARS BEEN A MURDDER
>>71974325
Nice momcore.
>>71976779
>>71976812
YES I KNOW THE CITY LIKE A LOVER
GOOD OR BAD IT'S HARD TO LOVE ANOTHER THAT I'VE FOUND
THIS IS NO MEAN TOWN
NO MEAN CITY
Dr. Pavel, I'm CID.
>It's a guy that got decapitated in a horror ride because he got a downy pissed episode
>it's a UFO and crop marks mystery episode
>turns out it's completely unrelated to the murder and was just a cover up
>episode ends on a mysterious scene where something supernatural occurs
fuck that made me mad
>>71976775
Apparently the name thing is based on the county of Somerset which does something like it:
>Many of the villages and small towns of the county have the word "Midsomer" in their name; this is inspired in part by the real county of Somerset
County towns as administrative centres in counties are a general thing. The way the police and the CID works in Midsomer Murders is plausible for a small and very rural county(which Midsomer appears to be), but for more urban places and larger counties there'll be different branches and a larger force.
>>71976779
fuck are you actually me
spooks too
>>71976689
Oh god, this always happens. You're just watching and he says he knows, five minutes later he asks everyone in the room who they bet the murderer is.
Every
Time
did they fuck?
>>71975570
>have a pint at the Winchester and wait for all of this to blow over
>>71977059
>It's a dad rants how they dangle the obvious choice in your face the whole time then introduce the murderer at the very end episode
p-please no yelling tonight daddy ;__;
>>71976197
My mom seems to watch them all.
She likes Morse and Endeavour a lot right now.
>live in any american town
>every day hundreds of people get shot
lol
>>71977107
>It's a dad rants about how it's obviously going to be the person that the show is trying to make you suspect and not suspect in a reverse psychology sort of way episode
The Last Detective
Death in Paradise
>you're under arrest, old chap
>oh jolly good work, you've nicked me. I may as well tell you my entire motive now.
>is always around when a murder takes place somehow
>>71975692
strangler's wood
the cricket one with the quarry
Is there a better british detective show?
>>71977204
I fucking love Death in Paradise
I was sad to see the first detective go but I love the new guy
>>71976042
New guy looks and kinda acts like David Cameron.
>It's a Barnaby is forced to play cricket episode
>>71977312
I heard the first one just died randomly, and next episode there was a new one there. Is that true?
It's also pretty redpilled:
>In March 2011, the series' producer, Brian True-May, was suspended by All3Media after telling the TV listings magazine Radio Times that the programme did not have any non-white characters, because the series was a "bastion of Englishness"
>>71977351
kek
>>71976197
I enjoyed A Touch of Frost a lot.

>>71977330
Basically, in the first episode of newer series, old Inspector is murdered, so a new inspector is sent to Saint Marie to investigate it
>>71976689
>>71977059
Does anybody else here never even attempt to guess the killer? I just sit back and enjoy the ride, it never even occurs to me to try to follow clues or anything.
>>71977351
I distinctly remember an interracial couple that owned a bookstore tho
>>71977408
the coloured one was probably brutally murdered with a star picket that episode, though
>>71977407
I only guess if it comes to me, otherwise I just sit back and enjoy watching. Death in Paradise is just so great to sit back, watch and enjoy, especially with the nice scenery.
ITV pretty much has a required age of 65 to watch.
That's not a bad thing.
>>71974958
Its mom/dadcore
Anyone else watched Jonathan Creek?
>>71977408
Yeah the tokens started showing up after he said that. Guarantee it's always a Sikh called Rajvinder or the most English black guy you'd ever see.
>>71975524
That's rather clever.
>>71976197
My Mum likes Father Brown it seems on the comfier side of crime solving dramas.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_Brown_(2013_TV_series)
>>71978358
Is this good, or is it tainted with contemporary notions of things?
>>71978392
>>71978358
Father Brown is also a pretty nice show, yea
Whats the show that had Robson Greene as this detective in it? Is it Father Brown?
>>71977351
He got fired for that didn't he
>>71978392
Don't think I've ever seen an ethnic in it, and its based on books by Chesterton, though I've only seen a few episodes.
>>71978945
Google says that was Grantchester
Anyone know the episode where a little girl kills an old woman? I could be wrong but I think she stabbed her or something similar.
>>71977538
Makes me wanna shack up in a windmill with Alan Davies and have passionate sex with him through the cold winters to cure his depressionhe would top obviously
>>71978392
>Is this good, or is it tainted with contemporary notions of things?
>>71979142
>Don't think I've ever seen an ethnic in it,
holy shit, elderly folks really do post on 4chan
>>71979354
His acting is horrible.
>>71979354
But would Stephen Fry and his husband be watching, or joining in?
>>71977306
Nope. I don't even like Britmurdercore but Foyle is GOAT. And Honeysuckle! Hngggh of course she had to get married to a manlrt libtard of course.
>>71979400
He's cute though
>>71979407
Nah Stephen Fry's a bit too saggy and I get the feeling he's a bottom as well. Can't have him stealing the spotlight
Some guy around where I live shot his wife and them himself the other day.
>>71976602
midsomer county
>>71977259
I really don't understand why people keep inviting her to their get-togethers. She just starts murderning people then pin it on someone else.
This was breddy gud as I recall.
>>71980448
I need to rewatch that, I remember it being great.
>>71979400
he's good in jonathan creek
>>71980884
Not really.
>>71980934
weeell that's your opinion, the show was well received
