After the brilliant first episode of the fourth season, "the Garden of death", despite all its advantages, there was disappointment that the funny chemistry between Barnaby and Troy was gone. However, I understand that this was required by the plot and the development of the character of Troy. But I digress.
"Destroying Angel" continues the high standard set by "Garden of Death". This is a True Midsomer classic, along with episodes of " Death's Shadow "or" Written in Blood", but in this case, this classic is also" seasoned " with mushrooms, so to speak.
If we talk about the characters, the killer here, in my opinion, is one of the most pleasant and evoking sympathy and understanding in the show. I don't agree that you can't sympathize with a man who has killed so many people, in my opinion, all these people are there and the road. Clarisse is a rather strange character, while Susannah, Tristan, and the gooders Are some of the show's most repulsive characters.
There were, of course, disadvantages (in fact, rarely any episodes of Midsomer Murders are without disadvantages, with the exception, perhaps, of the first five episodes, namely: "With Baited Breath", "The Straw Woman", "Death's Shadow", "The Sting of Death" and "The Magician's Nephew"), such as a dismembered body (an idea that should have been abandoned at the discussion stage) or some vulgarity of the episode, but still, this is a great episode of a great show. 10/10
