Fans Divided Over Midsomer Murders Finale

The season finale of 'Midsomer Murders', titled 'Dress to Kill', aired on November 10 and left many fans disappointed. The episode featured detectives Barnaby and Winter investigating a murder linked to a charity drag event, but the simultaneous domino contest in Elverton-cum-Latterly overshadowed the plot. Viewers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction, with one critic noting the episode featured 'awful GCSE drama acting' and another calling it the 'worst woke, box-ticking episode' they've seen. Many lamented the poor quality of acting and writing, with comments like 'two hours wasted' and 'this episode is so bad the writing, the acting everything'. However, a minority of viewers enjoyed the episode, indicating a mixed reception overall. The disparity in viewer reactions highlights the challenges faced by long-running series in meeting audience expectations.
