I love an afternoon after lunch watching Father Brown, it is complete and utter nonsense granted, but it's very easy to watch, sometimes amusing and sometimes rather engaging. Mark Williams is wonderfully cast in the lead, he is such a naturally funny man, he knows when to be serious and when to inject a touch of humour, it's very rarely overplayed. Sorcha Cusack is excellent as Mrs McCarthy, so often a gossip and prickly in nature, and yet somehow she makes her likable. Always well acted, favourite guest performance has been John Light's Flambeau, he always adds something to an episode.
You can argue they are very 'loosely' based on Chesterton's novels, but I'll continue to tune in, I love the series. For me the series gets better as it goes on, Series 3 was perhaps the best yet.
Very watchable. 8/10
