I hate having to slate Midsomer Murders, indeed for many years it was the best thing on TV, but the show has become a shadow of its former self. This really was excruciating to watch. The worst episode to date has to be Night of the Stag, which was vulgar, but at least it wasn't dull, Curse of the Ninth was one of the most boring things I've sat through for ages. The plot was all over the place, it was muddled, confusing, made absolutely no sense. The forced dynamic between Cam and Winter was poor, as the pair had zero chemistry, and the characters were generally loathsome. I will praise James Fleet, he was very good, and had a command I've not seen from him before, Callow as always was a joy to watch, a shame his character wasn't given a more prominent part. Even the production seemed a bit off, last week's wasn't good, but at least was well produced.
I think the irritation by the announcer that this was the last in the series didn't help. ITV two sub standard episodes of a once great show does not make a series.
Dear Caroline Graham, if you're reading please write ITV a script, before your great creation becomes a joke.
