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. |
Jeanie, you made me laugh!! Yes, he was a yeller (sp?
) in both Entourage and Selfridge, and he also played on Broadway! I totally agree with you in what works for some doesn't always work for others. I hope I can find the Fr. Brown series as your lovely description has really piqued my interest!
