I wasn't expecting to like this Brit series as much as I do now but I'm hooked and even watch the repeats, knowing now "who done it". Apparently, these small Brit villages are not that safe of a place to live with about 3 murders per episode and very few involving guns, maybe a shotgun or 2 per season. The background music is a perfect accompaniment, compelling, simple and musical. For me, it's a very compelling series.
