Average Rating:
Rating: - Midsomer Murders Series 9
Excellent product. Great actors and quality presentation. Stories are superb; mysteries as only the english can do. Takes us back to England with every episode.
Rating: - Excellent as always
This series is excellent as always, I've watched two:
Bantling Boy. An unexpected ending. Don't watch if you sensitive about any negative portrayal of computer games on kids.
Dead in the Water. Wonderful outdoor scenes, particularly if you enjoy boating, regattas and crew boat racing, since the plot revolves around the Midsomer Regatta. Crew racing in Seattle isn't quite as upperclass, but perhaps England is different.

Rating: - MidSomer Murders - the whole series
Both my wife and enjoy this series very much. We will soon have the whole series. We view them often.
Rating: - Midsomer Murders set 9
My wife and I have viewed the eight previous sets and we feel this is a very well done series. Like anything else some we felt were very good others perhaps a little weaker. Our only real criticism with set 9 was the fact that the murder scenes were a little more graphic than previous episodes. And in some cases needlessly so.
Overall 4 out of 5 stars.
