Exactly. I’ll add that there’s also been a loss in moral nuance, FB’s willingness to buck the letter of the law in pursuit of a higher morality. There was a subtlety that’s been lost, too. And without the fun and moral overlay, what’s left is very pedestrian mysteries.

Thank you. I wondered but wasn’t going to ask.

So I checked Hoopla (my source for Father Brown) and oddly it’s got seasons one through six and season eight. Huh. Well, I’ll cross that bridge when and if I come to it.
