On Netflix IW now. Anyone ever watch? Used to watch it on PBS. A bit slow paced but overall OK. Opinions?

I like them. They have something like 14 seasons, so there is certainly an appeal to a British audience. My wife, who is a bigger fan, has this to say:
MM appeals more to people who enjoy British mysteries and I'm not too sure how many of those are involved here.
I would recommend Poirot if you like these. David Suchet (the bad guy in Kurt Russell's Executive Decision) is a great actor who is the definitive Poirot. You will have a hard time believing he is the same actor. I like the earlier 1 hr shows best best as they are presented in a more light hearted humorous way and there is a continuing cast of characters and I love the classy art deco architecture.

Midsomer Murders are very enjoyable. The setting of a pretty English village, sharply drawn characters, the comical banter of Inspecter Barnaby and Sgt Troy, all tied together with Caroline Graham's truly wicked sense of humor makes for a fun mystery entertainment. Note--the few shows adapted from the author's actual books are the best.
