I love Barnaby, his eyes and his smile, perfect deduction, he's sassy, badass, he's caring and soft daddy and husband. 😍

I could not imagine being a solicitor in Midsomer.
Just imagine trying to defend someone crushing the victim to death with cheese or catapulting someone with bottles of wine

Not A Book Friday
Based on the book series all about Chief Inspector Barnaby, or, well, I think that technically at the beginning it was heavily based on the book series. Now that the TV series is 24 seasons in, it’s become its own sort of thing too.
It’s an interesting balance, because it’s set in the small cozy seeming villages of the made up ‘Midsomer County’. But, there’s murder, oh there’s so much murder. Actually, I was sorta surprised that in some of the episodes there’s more than one, or even two murders. Yikes.
My favorite part though, has to be John Nettles. He plays the lead Detective Barnaby, and, again, such amazing balance. On the one hand, he’s this seemingly unassuming (oh, the episode where he gets put on a diet by his wife and daughter is hilarious) and subtly funny guy, but, also, he’s a good, no a really great detective. And, it’s written in a way that he’s not some ‘out of left field magical’ sort of detective, but, that when something else in his life clues him into the answer, it so far (I’m just starting in on Season 3 or 4 I believe) it makes sense to me that he got the solution to B from A.
It’s a pretty laid back mystery show compared to some of those that are playing these days, and, there are so many places to watch it at the moment too. It seems to be on Tubi and PlutoTV at the moment. And even Hoopla Digital has many of the seasons to borrow (although each episode takes a borrow… so, to get through 20+ seasons may take many many months… heh…). No matter how you do it though, it’s definitely worth a watch.

Finally I watched the dreaded Fit for musder, Tom Barnaby’s retirement... And I’m full on crying right now, I just want more. John Nettles is just too fantastic and talented to let go as inspector Barnaby. Energy, poise, humour, those eyes, clever and full of life. ANd he is so attractive! Good God like oof..
Idk I’m very upset and incoherent. He just has it all, he’s just it.

These little moments from the episode ‘Faithful Unto Death’ where Barnaby is high without knowing it just make me so happy. Barnaby just being all giggly and jolly, and Troy wondering what the hell is going on (that quick up and down look in the second gif is just sending me) with his boss... pure gold. XD

The Dan Scott era of Midsomer Murders is just Barnaby clicking his fingers and making Scott do all the physical labour while he just watches
