really enjoyed this week's episode. Laughed out loud a couple of times at the gentle ribbing at the rodeo.

I love Nathan Lane and have enjoyed Matt Bomer. I am not as familiar with the third actor. I so wanted this to be good, but, as has been stated, it was awful...particularly considering the talent on the screen. And the laugh track almost made me throw my shoe thru the tv screen. PHONEY I will watch a couple more, but unless they get better fast I am out! PS. Given the onscreen talent I think the writers either had no time or they didn't have a clear vision to do a decent job.

What a well done episode. while I agree with many of the comments e.g. bloody clothes worn in the precinct, were unrealistic - I really believe the show was mainly about the trauma a police officer can/does feel if they kill anyone, but especially someone totally innocent and due to an accident. No one can foresee a ricochet. Thus the second half as Will's trauma is increasingly highlighted and the very, very pointed use of Betty lying down in front of his door as sad as Will just flat out broke me. I haven't reacted so completely to a tv show in more years than I can remember. Beautifully done and something that I don't think we civilians really understand about the job of a police officer -some things that can happen on the job can cause real trauma to the officer. Well written and well acted. Final song - excellent and bravo to using the original singer.

I remember being told by my mother I could not read a book she was reading. Fiction, I was 14 so some light mysteries were easy. You all know what I did - waited until she had left for whatever reason and immediately located the book and read until I heard her drive in. I finished the book and yes there were a couple of sex scenes (mild believe me) No harm no foul. Point: banning a book will often make a curious kid seek it out when they might otherwise ignore it completely. let the kid read and then talk about it.

I enjoyed last night's epi. It made a lot of sense that Max would want to please her 'best/only friend'. Glad they began showing her growth.

This episode surprised me. I wasn't that thrilled with the first two epis and almost didn't watch last night. I am glad I did. The entire bit with ballet was hilarious to me. FULL DISCLOSURE: I am not really a ballet fan and the concept of a football mad town suddenly being overcome with awe at a ballet duet struct me a funny. Sue me :)

I can't seem to make the quote work for me..... This is in response to Pokerdot saying..."I think Elsbeth is a bit cartoonish too" I agree Pokerdot, but I find her cartoonish stuff funny while I found the new detective to be an over the top stereotype. Basically we are not far apart. ..

The 'new' detective was cartoonish, and I don't mean in a good way. I hope his time is done. Spend a bit more time with the officer who is 'overseeing' them and appears to be on the spectrum. He is interesting and has shown some interesting moments recently. I do want to see Kaya in her new role, BUT I do not want her to go away to a new district

Well the Jet finally got smart. Hopefully he will retire

This is a pretty unique concept and I will stick with it. Will the brother be identified as neurotypical or remain as a merely annoying sib. Time will tell.

I am enjoying this show very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surprised it has not caught on.

If the show is on Britbox does that mean it will not air on PBS?

Any clue on when/if Father Brown will begin airing in the US

Plus he is nice for us to look at!!!!

My mother was a child at a Catholic school in the 1920's. She was left handed and the nuns definitely tried to get her to change. Family lore has it that my grandfather went to the school and convinced them to let her be. I only knew her as a left hander and have no idea how my grandfather succeeded. I had one brother who was also left handed and in primary school in the 1950's. He also was left alone to write left handed. Makes me wish I had asked a few more questions for sure.
