Midsomer Murders: Shot at Dawn (2008)
Season 11, Episode 1
5/10
Ambiguous, somewhat ridiculous and a bit banal, but generally normal episode
21 September 2020
Personally, I've always preferred the first two eras of the series, namely the Troy era and the Scott era. The era of Jones in a duet with Tom Barnaby was ambiguous. Jason Hughes is a great actor, he perfectly plays all the scenes, from the comical to the tense, but you can't help noticing that the quality has greatly decreased. Season 9 turned out to be quite mediocre and was the first season that did not include a single episode on the top ten.10. The tenth season was a remarkable improvement. The eleventh is an ambiguous season, with three solid episodes of the show, one just good, two weak and this non-successful episode. There's a lot of good stuff here - a baguette fight, a pretty memorable killer, a tearful ending, a tie-in, mayor Hicks, and a couple of funny dialogues. However, "Shot at Dawn" does a few things that should have been abandoned at the discussion stage, namely the overly banal ending, virtually all flat, cardboard characters, a boring plot, a lot of sexual themes, and the disgusting Arabella Hammond. I mean, you know, I really want to love this movie, but it's too boring, even sleepy to watch, and there are too many sickening moments. Subtotal. an ambiguous episode. 7/10
