Father Brown: The Menace of Mephistopheles (2022)
Season 9, Episode 1
9/10
Old sins cast long shadows, great episode.
9 January 2022
Inspector Mallory is behaving very strangely, Sergeant Goodfellow believes he's framing an innocent man.

I perhaps enjoyed this a lot more than some of the other reviewers on here, for me this is the show at its best, it's a great story, and unlike many it's played with a straight bat, don't expect laughs (apart from the beer barrel,) it's a more serious affair. Let's be honest, who isn't glad to see Father Brown back on the box, Covid seemed to have no impact on this one.

Jack Deam, perhaps the best episode for him since he joined, he was awesome here.

It plays out like a 1950's action movie, some fun during the shootouts, good old fashioned cops and robbers.

It's great to see Alex Price back as Sid, such is the depth of character in the show, that it doesn't matter if we have Lady Felicia or Bunty, they're all wonderful.

Loved it, 9/10.
