I'm a 61 year old English expat living in America..to an Anglophile this is probably ideal for those rainy days with a cup of cocoa in your slippers in suburbia.
A twee nod to the good old days when men were men blahdeblahdeblah.
As modern tv it misfires on many levels. Low budget scenery and costumes, ticking every cliche possible on the way down the whiny roads of reminiscence...poor writing, cliched characterizations, no real mystery at all in any plots, endless red herrings.
It's a real dumbing down of the snark and whimsy of Chesterton at his best...
Obviously it has many admirers or we wouldn't be staring at season 12.
Not for me. Watch something else please.
