Yeah, I know no one else is watching Father Brown now, but I’m still trucking along and need to vent a bit. I’m in the middle of season four and I may be close to done, or at least have a significant hiatus. I loathe Jack Deam as the inspector and his constant mugging the camera. The inspector role is a straight man; get over it. It needs far more acting chops than he’s got to put across a subtle comic aspect. Tom Chambers was essentially one note, but at least that was credible and he was easy on the eyes. The best inspector was in season one.
So knowing that Alex Price and Nancy Carroll will be gone in season five but Deam will still be there? I sense a loss of interest on my part. Already I’ve noted that I’ve gone from careful parceling out the allotted episodes each month to where the month runs out before I use them up.
