If you've seen more than a dozen episodes of Midsomer, you'll know who the killer is as soon as you see the vicar on the green. In Midsomer, the majority of the vicars are either mad, murderous, or both. At least Emma and Ben Kirby, who go to church, are portrayed as normal.
The main plot has to do with two families in a village, one which has the "gift" of second sight and the other that does not and the efforts by some of the non second sighters to study those who have it. Why it's just the Kirby family that's highlighted as not having second sight and none of the other families in the village isn't made clear. Does the village really just consist of two families?
There are hints now and again of a good story, but it takes more than hints to make a good mystery and this one isn't anywhere close. The motive doesn't make any sense, there is no way the first death could have happened as shown in the flashback, and what did rewiring the chair have to do with anything? I'm a huge fan of this show, but this episode doesn't deserve a second glance.
