Not the ayrt, but the British series Midsomer Murders came under criticism early on because the casting was very white. The producer at the time argued something like the show took place in small villages in the countryside, where white people were the majority and that it was meant to look like a romanticized, idyllic version of England. He quite rightly got dragged over the coals for implying that this setting wouldn't be considered idyllic if brown people were in it. This led to a big change, he left the show, and the series did begin casting more POCs.

But the show itself remained the same - set in small English villages with the types of characters you might see in small English villages. Only now some of them were POC. Personally, I thought that was fine and good. Midsomer Murders is almost a weird fantasy at this point because of all the crazy murders going on. The skin color of the person getting stabbed with a farm implement or killed with a combine harvester doesn't really make it more or less realistic.
