Get Lost in Midsomer Murders 

The series, one of the UK’s longest-running contemporary detective dramas, is inspired by Caroline Graham’s crime novels. Seasoned DCI John Barnaby and a junior partner (DS Gavin Troy in the first six seasons) tackle the murders that unfold across Midsomer—a seemingly idyllic, affluent county teeming with eccentric, snobbish, and morally dubious residents beneath its calm exterior. 

Here’s an overview of the first three seasons, each available with a SeasonPass:

Midsomer Murders SeasonPass Season 1 

Midsomer Murders Season 1 introduces us to Midsomer, the little English county that sees an outsized number of murders and grisly crimes. Luckily, this peaceful village’s criminals are no match for unflappable DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) and his enthusiastic junior partner, DS Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey). 

Midsomer Murders SeasonPass Season 2

Midsomer Murders Season 2 follows Barnaby and Troy as they unravel murders rooted in hidden secrets, from clashes between New Age travelers and a magistrate to revenge over a cricket accident and a resurfacing serial killer. Barnaby and Troy are up to the task. 

Midsomer Murders SeasonPass Season 3

Midsomer Murders Season 3 features all manner of unexplained deaths: a murdered hobo, a suspicious suicide, and deaths at a nursing home that raise suspicion of foul play. Barnaby and Troy investigate a haunted museum and a “perfect” village. The two are ideally positioned to tackle the mysteries.  

Why Start with Seasons 1–3? 

The first three seasons set the tone for everything that follows in Midsomer. These early episodes set the series’ signature tone of suspense and gentle humor, as well as establishing the carefully woven mysteries and character-driven stories.
