Father Brown: The Quill of Osric (2024)
Giving up on this.
Halfway through the series and it's still not working. I thought series 10 was poor but this makes it seem like Shakespeare. I have seen all episodes of the first nine series so many times I can say the words before the cast, but haven't managed to get through one episode of this one without getting bored. The budget is so mean that we've had a sport, art, food and writing festival setting - keep the cast in one place to keep costs low. Trouble is, that keeps the interest low, too. The stories are poor, the co-stars are nowhere close to the likes of Mrs M, Bunty, Lady F or Sid; the Sergeant and Chief Inspector feel like their phoning in their performances and even the previously brilliant Mark Williams seems to be going through the motions. I won't be bothering with the rest of the series, just rewatching all the oldies - again.
