What's interesting is the two diametrically opposing reviews, one a rave and one total hate.
I guess I'm somewhere in the middle, favoring the good. I really didn't consider this a bad Midsomer Murder at all.
I also don't consider John Nettles a boring actor. He has a role that doesn't often have a lot of range to it, but he's very likable and is good at both drama and humor. As far as Troy, he's always been my favorite Barnaby sidekick. He's adorable.
This plot concerns investments gone wrong, a kidnapping, drug activity in an unlikely place, and a few other plot points. The viewer will solve the case at the same time as the solution occurs to Barnaby.
Very enjoyable acting, and this time, I didn't even mind Lesley Vickerage, Inspector Lynley's awful girlfriend turned wife Helen in the Inspector Lynley series. Here she is quite good and very attractive. Always enjoy Barnaby's wife Joyce and daughter Cully. That was a nice thing that ran through Barnaby's whole time with the series - something like 12 or 13 years, if I'm not mistaken.
