I've watched quite a few British mysteries. It seems that most of them portray the police as incompetent while the protagonist is somehow brilliant at solving crimes. Father Brown used to be charming but now seems to think quirky characters and politically correct themes are a substitute for good writing. Sister Boniface has the police being nice people who are completely worthless. The Marlow Mystery Club has so many issues that just made it irritating to watch. This show has believable characters and nobody is a super sleuth. I enjoy the 80's background as I was a young man during those years, albeit in the United States. I don't think this is the greatest series ever but it is one that I look forward to every week.
