I will check out Father Brown. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Piven was the Selfridge actor? He seemed as if he were on Broadway the 2 or 3 episodes of it I watched, as if he were trying to light up and project to the last row of the theater or something in so many of his scenes. Just didn't see any subtleties in his technique but maybe it was just my mood at the time. I wondered myself why Selfridges just didn't ever keep me interested. It's so odd why we delight over some things and others just leave us cold. Like that Father Brown - really a nothing of a show but it was cozy, a neat period piece, bit of a peek into a tiny English village and at motivations for impulsive behavior and the sad outcome when it's destructive. Our PBS station has really done us proud these last three seasons. I loved the Sherlock Holmes Cumberbatch did. What writing(in most of them), directing, editing! BC just fascinates me as an actor.
