What BollyAI Thinks

Series 4 marked an expansion to six episodes, a vote of confidence from ITV and Bentley Productions that the format could sustain a larger run without the quality diluting. The expansion proved justified - six feature-length episodes per series became the new standard, and the show's writing teams proved capable of populating six distinct village worlds per year with sufficient specificity. Midsomer Murders operated as a showcase for British character acting alongside its detective format, and the expanded run gave that showcase more room. The series' Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 83% across the full run reflected consistent appreciation from viewers who valued its particular brand of comfortable English menace.
