Father Brown: The Menace of Mephistopheles (2022)
An Unfortunate Return
Father Brown is back. My guess is the budget for the season (at least the first couple of episodes) is about 10% what it used to be. The plot of Ep. 1 is just silly, the writing amateurish and the staging and casting is minimal. (A "pub" is a counter across a small alcove in a sitting room.) And there are hardly any extras. Finally, there's no continuity with past seasons. This felt thrown together in a most slipshod manner. It's a blot on the series' reputation.
Twin Peaks: The Return: Part 8 (2017)
As John Macenroe said: You can't be serious!
What's sicker, the mind that thought this up or the idiots like me who actually watched it? I think I would have to have been stoned for this to even seem like it made sense. Not that I expect it to, but I feel like I've been punked. At least in the original you could try to figure out what was going on. This episode was just performance art, and boring at that.
