I would be repeating myself (or rapidly running out of synonyms) if I tried to critique each of the 16 episodes in Midsomer Murders: Village Case Files (originally released by the studio as Sets 9 through 12). The scripts are typically well plotted, John Nettles is uniformly superb as Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Barnaby of the (fictional) Causton CID, and the production always has a great look to it. The comfortable familiarity with what to expect in each episode -- coupled with the unexpected surprise here and there -- is what makes this series so successful and popular. There are no poorly developed episodes in this set, and more than a few that rank among the best.
