I knew Nettles final episode was coming, but sad when I finally reached it. Of his 81 MM episodes I'd say 95% were very good watches. I stretched the episode out over 4 viewings. I'll probably discontinue watching the series, leaving the door open for restarting sometime in the future. Maybe give Endeavour a try, me being a big Morse fan.
I really liked "Fit For Murder". It continues the series trend of beautiful female actresses. Barnaby's troubled throughout the episode finally clearing his head. Extremely well written making it difficult to pinpoint a possible villian(s). A deep glimpse into Barnaby's stressed out mind, while trying solve a murder case juggling the two. The series regularly delved into the occult, and spiritualism, and did so here. A very satisfying send-off for Nettles the show can be proud of. Much better than "A Touch of Frost" final episode which was sappy. It's basically the same Nettles here as in the previous 80 episodes, only in extreme turmoil. The cut I watched ending had Barnaby's birthday. No handing off the baton to his successor, or retirement announcement. Would have been nice to see that. Vito S 3-31-20
