I've enjoyed this Series quite a lot, it's been better overall then the last few, however....Breaking the Chain was a pretty poor effort, the story wasn't the best, the murder(s) were rather silly and a tad on the boring side. I also felt that the writers cheated a bit, we weren't given the full story.
It has been a good few years since Tessa Peake Jones appeared in a Midsomer Murders, Faithful until Death, but what a contrast in two episodes, back then the characters were so big and well drawn, as good as she is, she just felt a little flat in this one, as did Joe McGann. Maybe the writing wasn't up to scratch.
I struggled with Barnaby and Nelson in this episode, somehow they didn't feel like a double act, new pathologist Doctor Karimore was also poorly written for.
Sadly a bit of a yawn fest, 5/10
