Why doesn't Tom Barnby divorce Joyce in Midsomer Murders?
She's such a pretentious, social-climbing old hag who can't even cook!
Why does she get to swan around with all her clubs and charities while Tom works? Always nagging and getting herself into trouble, which she expects to be rescued from.
Don't even get me started on that useless layabout Cully!

Joyce was one of the few people in Midsomer who didn't commit a murder. For a police officer that's someone you hold on to.

Joyce has the WORST thin, flat, skull-cap hair in the world. Don't they have hair products in the UK? Who is the hair and makeup team on this show, students from the cosmetology school for the blind? And there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why Joyce can't follow simple recipes and try to improve her cooking when she has all day every day to do so? Boring and lazy and ugly.

Joyce was way too busy with her Frau clubs to become a better cook. Also if you stumble into that many murder scenes you are not really in the mood for (good) cooking. Quite frankly I was surprised that she never got addicted to anxiety meds or become an agoraphobic.

I'm on Season 8 and this dreck by now is absolutely formulaic.
-- First off the opening scene is usually a person riding a bicycle or a conveyance of some sort. Horse, boat, car, etc.
-- Next, Tom's black Rover black car should be listed as a co-star. Scene after scene each episode of it driving around the countryside and villages.
-- Every single solitary character actor you've ever seen on PBS or BBC America has a turn on the Midsomer Murders eventually.
-- Pub, a park, dining room table, drawing room -- the location set-ups rarely vary.
-- Lotta drinking goes on in each ep.
-- Joyce IS useless and Cully not much better. Cully's "acting jobs" -- she can't act in the real one she has!

I'm addicted to this show too, but I finished all the Netflix episodes a long time ago and there haven't been any new ones in a long time (same goes for Father Brown.) Are they forcing us to sign up for one of those British streaming services to get the new ones, or will they eventually make their way to Netflix?
Question for our UK brethren: Given some of the comments above about the repetitiveness of the settings, etc. -- how realistic is the show with respect to present-day rural England life? I've only been to London, which of course is a modern city, but a lot of the Midsomer episodes seem almost as if they're stuck in the '50s, if you disregard the technology and the cars. Are things really that low-key and "traditional" in the hinterlands? Are pubs and fairs still a big deal?

Midsomer Murders has its charms but...
1) They stupidly do them all as "movies" meaning they run about an hour and an half and very few few of them have enough content to warrant that long of an episode. Many of them are very draggy because they insist on sticking to the longer format.
2) They are very very formulaic. Which is true of most TV shows especially detective shows but...you can very easily predict how the episode will turn out most of the time
3) It needs to end. The last season they did was an absolute dud....none of the 4 episodes was any good.
4) I HATED Joyce when I originally started watching but now I'm very fond of her....her bitchiness and moods are such fun.

I love this show, but I certainly don't watch it for its narrative strength. It's more of a Cotswolds/cottages/characters porn for me. Tom Barnaby has an extremely pleasant presence on screen, and a charming, mild sense of humor. I adore seeing all the English gardens, and hearing the ridiculous nighttime woodland cacophany of owls hooting and foxes screaming. (They have toned it down quite a bit after the first few seasons.) I've watched most of the series, and I'm just about to Tom's final appearances. This show is a balm to me, something lovely and light for the very end of the day. I might fall asleep, but I'll definitely finish the episode the following night. I don't even care who the murder is, I just enjoy watching the scenery.

In the very first episode, Troy makes rude and dismissive remarks about the first witness they interview, an old lady who Troy dismisses out of hand. Barnaby's displeasure is clear. Then Troy makes a homophobic remark about Dennis Rainbird who tosses it back in his face. A few scenes later, he speculates that the couple doing it in the woods might have been 'a couple of arsebandits.' Barnaby stops him and expresses his displeasure. Then there is the matter of his driving. All in the first 15 minutes of the episode.
He is a young man with a lot to learn. I like that the writers slap him around a good bit.

R91 - You are so right. This type of writing, city slicker gets put in his place by country cop" really made the show. One of the big complaints about the show in the last 2-3 years is that it has become too politically correct and does not really represents "The country". I am not British nor do I live in the UK so I really have no idea. I have never seen an episode of the show that I did not enjoy but someone were better than others. To me, the more nutter the villagers are, the better the episode tends to be.
Also the episodes with the best village nutters tends to have the best country house real estate porn.
When the current Barnaby leaves the show, I think a gay couple (as The DCI and his spouse, say a dentist formally practicing in Kent) would really work.

There are some great episodes where the local nutters fight against the city folk changing things in Midsomer. That conflict wouldn't exist without there being actual city folk doing stuff that pisses off the locals. I especially love the ones where the locals are all outraged, because they can't take strolls in certain parts of the land, because the new landowners claim the paths are on their private properties.

Since we are talking about these British mystery/cop things is Touch of Frost any good? I saw the first episode and found the character rather sad. I tried watching Hinterland, it was slow and the scenery was so depressing I almost became close to suicidal. Does it actually pick up? Does the sun ever come out?

Cully had the looks and disposition of a village librarian, no way was she believable as an actress. She was the blandest member of the cast, so I suppose they had to find ways to make her interesting like marrying her off to a musician in a rock band, another unbelievable bit of writing.

Yes, and then in one or two episodes, Cully was fucking one of Tom's young assistants. One of the first two of them, IIRC. It was so odd because it would have opened a complex set of circumstances that I couldn't believe that the show was ready to take on. And then... it was over.
The writers just didn't care about this role. Whatever needed to be done, they just gave it to Cully. There was no way for the actress to do anything but say the lines and cash her pay check.

John Nettles stayed on too long as Tom Barnaby.
In his later seasons, he seemed pompous and had the writers create plots where young women threw themselves at his tired old ass...
He seemed to ham it up more and more toward the end of his tenure.
And apparently dishwater Joyce's agents made ridiculous demands too - she was prominently featured in almost every episode of her last season - which became distracting and laughable...

Nettles was bored to death toward the end of his run. The only reason he stayed as long as he did was because they threw a lot of money at him. Nettles never expected the show to be as big a hit as it was in the UK, not to mention how popular it became internationally, so he never expected the show to go on as long as it has. He told the producers in 2009 he'd do two more seasons and he stuck to his guns. I imagine Jane Wymark (Joyce) and Laura Howard (Cully) were devastated by the news--no more cushy acting gig.

A much younger Neil Dudgeon is also a guest star on a very early John Nettles episode of Midsomer Murders.
Best guest star of all time on Midsomer Murders is Samantha Bond IMAO. She was in at least three episode of Midsomer Murders playing three different British Nutter characters.
I also love Nancy Carol as Lady Felicia Montague in Father Brown who also did a guest star role in a very good episode of Midsomer Murders.
Favorite Episode of Midsomer Murders is "The Green Man" due to John Carlisle as Lord Fitzgibbon and "A Tale of Two Hamlets" due to spectacular number of spectacular complete British Nutter characters.
