The Father Brown books are infinitely better than any of the movies or shows. In fact, and read of Chesterton is highly recommended. Same with the Sydney Chambers or Grantchester Towers. I read the first two books, which I found quite good. The TV series infuses homosexuality and infidelity into every episode.

I liked the Kon Tiki movie. Sort of violence with their encounters with weather, aquatic life, and each other but nothing I found offensive. Ron Howard’s Nixon was good, no violence. In fact, Apollo 13 and From the Earth to the Moon are a couple of my favorites if you don’t find Hanks offensive. We recently watched Akela and the Bee and found it enjoyable.

I assume you mean the new Father Brown? I haven’t seen the originals (available on Netflix DVD IIRC), but I gather that the new version is crap that basically inverts the originals.

We have had the Father Brown books on cd and listened individually and as a family. Wonderful books. The series left a lot to be desired. I was initially hooked by the Cotswold scenes for I am a big Miss Read fan, and frankly, want heaven to be either Fairacre or Thrush Green.

Couldn't answer the question?
Reading comprehension problems?

Please resist the "I've got a better idea" response; it is extremely irritating!
