Midsomer Murders: Sauce for the Goose (2005)
Season 8, Episode 7
7/10
Cozy, original, though somewhat slow and heavy episode
21 September 2020
For me, the era of Sergeant Scott is as good as that of Sergeant Troy. Scott, of course, is an ambiguous character, but I don't understand why many people don't like him. I think he was great in episodes like"The Fisher King", "The Straw Woman"or "Ghosts of Christmas Past." As for the episodes, I can't remember a single completely bad episode with Scott (such as "Midsomer Life" or "the Black Book"), except for" Orchis Fatalis", but it wasn't completely bad either. "Sause for the Goose" is a pretty solid episode, though not flawless.

Here, despite one of the most gruesome murders of the series, a very cozy family atmosphere, similar to the novels of Agatha Christie and the series "Poirot". The series moves slowly, slowly, but it does not create boredom, as in "Market for Murder", and looks nice, slow and atmospheric. The Plummer family are fantastic characters, especially Anselm and his sister Caroline. The music is great, especially in the final.

However, the episode was not without its drawbacks. In addition to the already mentioned brutal murder, the episode also leaves a heavy aftertaste.

As a result, the episode could be among the most interesting, but some elements do not allow it to become such. 8/10
