MM is anything but a treat. Can't fathom how this mediocre series earns it's 8.3 on IMDb. It entirely lacks the great atmosphere of 'Morse' or the great chemistry between the leads in 'A touch of frost'. John Nettles mumbles his way through every episode as if tranquilized performing like made out of wood. It is especially his lisping delivery that makes it a pain to sit through. I had the displeasure to watch the final episode with the laughable ending. I would strong recommend to watch the final Morse version as an antidote to the mediocrity offered by MM. For one thing it will give you an idea what a strong scenario, atmosphere and heartbreakingly good acting can do to a series..
