deering24 Review of Father Brown

Father Brown (2013– )

Awful season 11--had to force myself to watch it...😔

[14 February 2024]

Man--this is just woeful. How did this show's mysteries get so dull and lifeless? Why are two of the leads--Devine and Brenda--even less-useful (and still more annoying) than they were in S10 (and that is saying something 🙄.)? Why do the writers insist on pushing this Sullivan/Devine romance that is hopelessly unbelievable--and a cringing ordeal to watch? The only decent eps were the Flambeau, Lady Felicia, and season finale ones, which were suspenseful and heartbreaking in a way FB has not been in a very long time. The show did need to make changes, but this silly unfunny new direction and unwatchable characters were all the wrong moves. (What--did the BBC secretly want to kill the show or something?) FB is doing no one any favors being this bad--time to give it the axe.
