I used to really enjoy MM but it's gone right downhill since series 9. S12 and 13 gave been extremely poor and thus one is one one of the worst of all. Senseless and convoluted.
Barnaby is becoming more and more self centered often ignoring basic policing and letting people off. DS Jones us good but seems just a puppet. It's always Barnaby who has a moment if magic near the end and solves the case. His persona is annoying - wheezing through every sentence, gasping for air, heavy sighing with clenched lips and the Shakespearean diction. It really gets my goat how he speaks some words. Plus every time he comes home the first thing he does is either open a bottle of wine, have a glass of red or white or failing that than whiskey.
It's a shame because I really used to enjoy the first few series But a lot of the plots are more than ridiculous, full of holes and clichés as are the characters.
Do the producers know what a cottage in a quaint English village us worth - yet a lot of time cleaners, unemployed, bus drivers etc own these beautiful houses.
It doesn't work!
I've not seen the John Barnaby episodes but the reviews suggest I needn't bother. But my ol mum says there better so I'll give it a try anyway.
RIP Liz II.
