About Midsomer Murders TV Show
With more than two decades of intriguing mysteries and shown in over 200 territories worldwide, Midsomer Murders is one of the most popular and longest-running mystery series of all-time and remains one of Acorn TV's top-performing franchises and a fan favorite. In Midsomer Murders, Detective Chief Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and Detective Sergeant Winter (Nick Hendrix) investigate homicides, blackmail, greed, and betrayal in England's most murderous county. The first two movies premiered in April with four more feature-length mysteries to arrive this fall. In the upcoming mid-season debut, the owners of a handmade board game gather for a murder mystery weekend, but the immersive experience takes a puzzling twist when a killer strikes for real.

Ex-rugby player and businessman Mark Adler (Nicholas Goh) seems to have the whole world at his feet; heโs the owner of the successful Causton Lions rugby team and has his beautiful and successful wife Samantha (Tamzin Outhwaite) by his side. However, Mark is mysteriously found dead in a cryotherapy chamber, normally used by the players for their physio. Is it murder or suicide? DCI Barnaby and DS Winter are called in to investigate.
Barnaby and Winter are quick to learn that not everyone was Markโs biggest fan. Guy Bevan (Julian Lewis Jones) โ scorned former coach of the Lions, is in the midst of launching a very public campaign against Mark and his apparent โband of thugsโ.
Markโs best friend and head coach Bill Viner (Don Gilet) couldnโt paint a more different picture of the Lionโs hero. Bill had struggled with an alcohol problem for years after an injury prematurely ended his career, but attributes Markโs belief in him as the main reason for his sobriety. When asked about the circumstances of his injury Bill admits he could have been targeted during the match, having recently come out as gay.
As our detectives get more embroiled in the case, with an increasing list of suspects, including; Guy, Samantha, troubled star player Danny Wickham (Richard Rankin) and Neville (Michael Maloney) the physio, they begin to realise all is not what it seems. But before they can get to the bottom of the case, Barnaby and Winter are thrown by the death of victim number 2; drowned in a chocolate shop kitchen. How can murders at a small confectionary shop and a large sports club be connected?
Barnaby and Winter are desperately try to find the link between the two deaths when they discover that two of the suspects have been harbouring a secret relationship with each other, which leads Barnaby to believe these murders could have been motivated by love, not hate. Following this new theory, Barnaby and Winter hone in on the killer, but can they get to them before it reaches an explosive end?
Midsomer Murders is made by Bentley Productions, part of All3Media. It is produced by Guy Hescott and executive produced by Michele Buck. The Lions of Causton is written by Nick Hicks-Beach and directed by Matt Carter.

I just watched the newest Midsommer Murders on PBS Madison WI on 10-13-22. I found the script disappointing. Iโm a major fan of Midsommer Murders and feel this did not live up to the quality of any of the past seasons.. Acting was good. Plot and absence of English countryside ambiance were disappointing.
