mmwnycny Review of Sister Boniface Mysteries

Sister Boniface Mysteries (2022– )

The second year of this series is significantly better than the first

[7/10 · 21 April 2023]

Sister Boniface is coming into its own. Lorna Watson's character has much more personality this year, and exhibits charm as well as overt intellectuality. She was a bit of a cipher last year, and was somewhat disappointing. This year's plots are lively and humorous, referencing more interesting pop phenomena of the era than last year's offerings, and finally including some pagan rituals in one episode. One character has been eliminated, and others have been added who improve the unlikely camaraderie between Sister Boniface and the police. The countryside is beautiful, and the series' production values continue to be good.
