One of the few redeeming aspects of the show is that Jack Deam's character of DC Ken Blackstone helps wash the bad taste of his Inspector Mallory character from Father Brown out of my mouth. Only a little bit, but still...
I've not watched the show, but I read and enjoyed the DCI Banks series for some time, until I got tired of the perfection that was Banks, his acuity, his taste, you name it. In fairness, I get tired of all series eventually; there are very few I see to the end.

...recalls to me that I watched one Father Brown in March and haven't thought of it since. Just as well; Hoopla pulled seasons seven and eight so it's not as if I ran out of episodes while I was still interested.
