Customer Reviews

It is quite fun trying to outguess Father Brown.

Mark Williams plays Father Brown in this series based on G. K. Chesterton’s books. I cannot tell you how close this comes to the books themselves, as I have not read them yet. Each episode is a complete story in itself, where we meet the characters, build up the mystery, try to second-guess Father Brown, and wrap up in the end. The ending of his stories is not that neatly wrapped, as he usually leaves it to the culprit to do the right thing. John Light plays Hercule Flambeau (Father Brown’s friend); he is advertised throughout the DVD but does not show up for several episodes. I have to admit that several times on my first viewing, I had to stop and think about where I had seen the actor(s) before. Like many series, there are guest actors. Some guests appear once, while others show up throughout the series. The quality of each story varies greatly, so you'll have some favorites and some duds depending on what you want to see. The production itself looks quite inexpensive, including the locations and sets. The sound quality of the recording leaves something to be desired; I'm not sure if it's the original recording or the media. In any case, you'll be so engrossed in the story that you won't mind the production quality. As with any series, the character mix changes over time. Some of your favorites may disappear. Yet again, you may find new favorites.

Love this series!

I love how extended and more exciting the show is compared to the original stories. The characters and storylines have great substance and emotion tied into each story. One of my favorite series!
