What viewers say
A beloved British series about a detective policing a string of picturesque English villages, and viewers enjoy the quaint settings, eccentric locals, gentle humor and intricate, often outlandish murders. Many fans have watched for years and treat it as comfort TV. Common jokes and critiques are the absurdly high village death toll, long episodes and predictable patterns.
