Cadfael: St. Peter's Fair (1997)
The book was WAY better
I must look up the name of the screenwriter who adapted this classic Cadfael chronicle and send them a flaming bag of dog poop. The liberties taken with this story are criminal, the worst being the adversarial attitude of the Hugh Beringar character toward Cadfael. Never in a million years would Hugh treat Cadfael in this aggressive and dismissive way. As a tv episode, "St. Peter's Fair" was fine, but as an adaptation of a fine piece of writing, it blows chunks. Thanks be that Edith Pargeter never had to see what happened to her creation. The only thing saving this is a brilliant performance by Jacobi-as always. Recommendation: Read the book; it's much more satisfying.

Jump the gun much?
It's a two-parter, people! How about seeing the whole story before deciding whether you like it or not? Then you can slam it to your hearts content with a clear conscience.
Hudson & Rex (2019)
Pawsitively predictable...
I hope this show gets better. The actors are obviously doing their best, but the story is short on originality. The only thing authentically Newf is the scenery, which is amazing. Oh, and the dog is cute. So much potential, but way too uptight. Good luck on episode 2...
