hetricksk Love Father Brown. Have watched all 5 Series, and now Season 6 is on, and I can hardly wait to see what the cast can come up with. Keeps me very entertained.

vivek28593 Father Brown, the TV series is about a priest who witnesses more deaths than a hangman and solves all of them before the local police can, much to the resentment of the inspector. Armed with a bicycle, an award-winning scone baker of a parish secretary and a rich countess with a Rolls Royce, Father Brown bustles about Kembleford and nearby villages trying to satisfy his inquisitive spirit by solving murders. The series is based in the 50s, after the second world war and the production perfectly recreates the period in this drama. While it is no racy thriller, it is perfect for a weekend afternoon and is quite entertaining.

genabena-65665 We absolutely LOVED Father Brown for the first 4 seasons.WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?!!!Almost entirely different cast, totally different feel, everyone smokes, it's suddenly extremely racy (no, I'm not a prude), what happened?Where is Sid? Where is Lady Felicia? The new inspector is a dolt! And Bunty? Whatever!We'll muddle our way through the rest of season 5 (watching on Netflix), but not sure that we'll continue on if this is the future direction. We liked remembering a "simpler" time, while adding in the murder mystery part (yes, we like Murder, She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder).

samba53211 I'm enjoying the Father Brown series despite some serious flaws in it. As other reviewers have mentioned, the show is entertaining fluff. Some of the acting is good (some isn't), the priest is sincere (I like him despite his smugness toward atheists), and the scenery and settings are exquisite.I have only two complaints: The show is full of caricatures. There's the cougar (Lady Felicia), the ignorant and intolerant church lady (Mrs. McCarthy, whose solution to every problem is a cup of tea), the cocky young male (Sid), and various lecherous old geezers. My second complaint is that the show too often comes off like an English farce—nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Every time an important clue is presented, there's sure to be an exaggerated wink or a pregnant pause to make absolutely sure the audience pays the proper attention.As long as you're not expecting serious drama or much in the way of character development—I think it would be cool for at least Father Brown to grow—you won't be disappointed.
