The dialogue can be quite stilted at times, and how do you start off a series like this by killing off your best character! Seriously, you have a mysteriously smug and wealthy coroner in a community that's full of an entire franchise worth of murder. Don't waste that!
Otherwise, fantastic cast of professionals. Finely directed. Paints the players of the small town well with a good series of mysteries upon mysteries that grow increasingly brutal and twisted as they go along. I can see why this caught on with how cleverly it juggles the brutality, humor, and rustic charm.
This also gave me a chance to finally check out the first installment of my cousin's podcast, Welcome to Midsomer. It was a wonderfully funny and thorough breakdown of this episode, and I highly recommend it. https://www.welcometomidsomer.com/
