WHAT EVIL LURKS BEYOND THE WELL-TRIMMED HEDGES OF MIDSOMER . . .
The cozy villages of Midsomer County reveal their most sinister secrets in these contemporary British television mysteries. Inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, modern master of the English village mystery, the series stars John Nettles (Bergerac) as the unflappable Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby with John Hopkins (Love in a Cold Climate) as his brash young assistant, Sergeant Dan Scott. Guest stars include Oliver Ford Davies, Annette Crosbie, Owen Teale, June Whitfield, Geoffrey Whitehead, and David Burke.
THE MYSTERIES
Second Sight -- A mysterious death brings the detectives to Midsomer Mere, where villagers claim psychic powers.
Hidden Depths -- Barnaby and Scott face a bizarre crime scene when a local oenophile gets killed by a combination of catapult, croquet, and Chateau Lafite.
Sauce for the Goose -- After a visitor dies while touring Plummer’s relish factory, Barnaby and Scott investigate the local food wars.
Midsomer Rhapsody -- Barnaby links a long-deceased local composer with odd events that crescendo to a murderous conclusion.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE Caroline Graham biography and cast filmographies.

Gruesome doings in bucolic villages make Midsomer Murders an addictive British detective series. Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby (John Nettles), a staunch, determined policeman with a nose for sniffing out motives and crucial mistakes, investigates murders in this bizarrely homicidal rural district, accompanied by the younger, not as insightful, but still dutiful Sergeant Scott (John Hopkins). Set 10 features three superb episodes and one disappointing one (which, confusingly enough, are from the show's eighth series on the BBC). Each episode is a 90-100 minute movie, cunningly structured so the solution always seems just out of reach yet tantalizingly close. The characters are well-developed and rarely feel like mere puppets designed to distract viewers from an inevitable solution; the psychological richness of the show is crucial to its appeal. In Second Sight, a young lad may have died from electric shocks delivered during tests of his extrasensory powers. As Barnaby struggles to separate science from superstition, he comes across an ominous caged chair, a psychic baby, and a man who fears he's foreseen his own death. Hidden Depths features some truly spectacular revenge killings, including one using a catapult and many bottles of wine; the episode is practically a genteel (and less pretentious) version of Saw or Seven. Sauce for the Goose turns the prosaic setting of a relish factory into a swirling crucible of madness, secrets, lost love, and boiled flesh. Only Midsomer Rhapsody, in which the possibly forged manuscript of a dead composer results in a variety of head traumas, founders in melodramatic backstory. But even when the show isn't at its sharpest, Nettles drives each episode forward with his charismatic blend of compassion and doggedness. Viewers usually resistant to crime-show formulas may find Midsomer Murders more compelling than most, while any fan of mysteries will be hooked in seconds. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - british Murder Mysteries
This is one Brit series that just keeps getting better and better.I shall
be very sorry when Midsomer Murders reaches the end,John Nettles is super
and I enjoy the sutle humor and the beautiful scenery,there really are places such as this in England!I just hope they don't run out of victims!There appear to be at least two and sometimes three per episode.Sure beats the usual dull fodder on Tv these days.
Rating:  - Midsomer Murders, Set 10
Upon receiving this product which did arrive quickly and was quit cheap in comparision to prices in Australia I was quite annoyed to find out that this actual DVD was not Season 10 as I had believed but Season 8, Part 2.
I'm not sure if they are released differently in the USA but in Australia this DVD set is DEFINATELY not Season 10.
Thankfully I didn't have Season 8, Part 2 so it didn't make too much of a difference.
Rating: - THE ONLY VIDEODISK WE BUY
One of the very few TV series that still is consistently good. This long-running series is the only video disks that we are buying these days. Netflix for the rest.
Rating: - Set 10 Excellent Package...Need 11 and the Rest, Now Please...
Set 10 was excellent and now looking for Set 11...When will it be released...sign me up.
