MIDSOMER MURDERS SEASON 22:
Adapted by Anthony Horowitz from the novels in the Chief Inspector Barnaby book series created by Caroline Graham, “Midsomer Murders” is a British crime drama television series that focuses on various murder cases that take place within small country villages across the fictional English county of Midsomer, and the efforts of the senior police detective and his partner within the fictional Midsomer Constabulary to solve the crime by determining who the culprit is and the motive for their actions and premiered first time on two channels of ITV on March 23, 1997.
Starring John Nettles as Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Tom Barnaby, until his retirement from the drama in February 2011; then Neil Dudgeon as DCI John Barnaby, Tom’s younger cousin, since March 2011 along co-stars Jane Wymark, Barry Jackson, Daniel Casey, John Hopkins, Jason Hughes, and Gwilym Lee, with Nick Hendrix.
The latest season of the show premiered on Monday, April 19, 2021, on AcornTV.
Midsomer’s residents are mainly corrupt, selfish, and eccentric individuals, many with a skeleton in the closet. During the course of an investigation, the Barnabys and their young Sergeants have to trawl through more sin and vice in the British countryside than could ever be produced in the tough inner cities in search of the killer. There is usually more than one murder in an episode (the average being three per story), but despite this, the program retains constant humor.
