Midsomer Murders: Blood on the Saddle (2010)
Season 13, Episode 3
6/10
Holes in script, but still ok
26 February 2020
This episode I give credit for at least they try not to get stuck in a cops and bad guys rut. The wild west theme done by Brits was clever. I like they're not prisoners to PC. They aren't scared to show the confederate flag.

Lots of head scratchers. Joyce seems more upset by the ice cream spill than the witch buying the farm. No known land owner? Who paid tax on it? All these years and it's never been settled? Why don't Barnaby & Jones block Silas Burbage's vehicle in with theirs when he flees? Jones has a loaded weapon at the duel, but not in the house to defend the three?

There's always going to be script inconsistencies, but there might have been too many here. Caroline Langrishe as Susan Fincher was enchanting. Marvelous Emma Cooke as Faye Lennox got whacked way too early. Vito S. 2-25-20
