Overrated and overhyped

Good movie but grossly overrated

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I have watched this series from the beginning. I love the small country village, with the inquisitive Father Brown. It is in the style of Miss Marple, and you are the viewer and you have to work out who did it before the end of the episode. I hope they keep making this series for a long time.

My daughter and I wait each week for the Father Brown episode. Absolutely love it. Keep them coming.thanks

I borrowed Season 1 at no cost from my local library, and I have to say it was worth every penny I paid. I shall not even pay that much to watch the rest.Even if you have not the faintest idea what the books were like, or what the theology and moral principles of their author may have been, the series is bound to disappoint. I am actually shocked that an actor of the calibre of Mark Williams would have assented to participate in this ridiculous and totally unbelievable piece of PC rubbish.If the BBC had at least remained true to the good nature of Chesterton's work, it might have redeemed the travesty somewhat. But spooky music, low budget horror movie darkness, and equally dark plot twists turn the fun frolic of the original concept into just one more pathetic Conan-Doyle imitation. I kept expecting Peter Cushing or Lon Cheney Jr to appear in the next scene.I won't dwell on egregious faults like the City of Birmingham ambulance responding to an injury in the Cotswolds, the misplaced (Midlands or Home Counties) accents of the locals, or the permanent cast of Soap Opera supporting roles. Things like those are just the scum on the top of the foetid pond.Give it a miss.

This is by far my favorite series....even better than Downtown Abbey. Mark Williams and Sorcha Cusack as Father Brown and Mrs. McCarthy are amazing actors. We need more shows like this in the world. I really hope there will be a Season 6. I miss Sid and Felica; but the casting is still excellent and the story lines are incredible....very well written.
