This episode is truly ghastly. The script is awful. The characters are c players at best. They're flat, unattractive, dull, with not an ounce of any feeling. The only high point is the Doctor. She provides her usual wit and humor which really is the only redeeming part of this episode. And one couldn't help notice the lack of traditional Midsomer type characters. A trend this year for sure. It seems they're trying to win some diversity award. I use to blame the stodgyness of the last couple years on Covid protocol. But that's long gone. Now it's just lack of effort. Going back to watch seasons 1-16.
