Like many of Midsomer Murder episodes, this one is annoying. Though I am a longtime fan of MM, I do get annoyed with the casting and the script. In this episode, I found the casting to be especially off. Some of the main characters were especially irritating: Tom Carter as Nathan Green was both unlikable and unconvincing in his role, the woman who plays his long-last love is simply too old and unattractive for the part, and the actress who played her daughter wasn't attractive enough to be convincing as the object of insatiable desire for two very attractive men. MM casters, including Joyce Nettles, often cast actors who were not appropriate for the parts and this resulted in a kind of cognitive dissonance for the discerning viewer.
