Father Brown is one of the most popular British cozy mystery TV series.

It’s been running since 2013!

The series is set in England during the early 1950s.

Father Brown is the priest at St Mary’s Catholic Church in the fictional village of Kembleford …

Britain is struggling with the aftermath of the Second World War, rationing is still in effect, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place, the death penalty has not yet been abolished, and homosexuality and abortion are still illegal.

An empathetic man of keen intelligence, Father Brown solves murder cases when members of his parish are involved, when circumstances are strange enough to gain his interest, or when he is directly asked for help. During his investigations, he occasionally neglects his more mundane parish duties.

Sister Boniface Mysteries is a spin-off which began 2022.

The series is set in early 1960s Britain.

Sister Boniface is a Catholic nun at St. Vincent’s Convent in the fictional town of Great Slaughter …

In addition to her religious duties at the convent, she makes wine and has a PhD in forensic science (although this is referred to as a MA (Cantab), in the “The Forensic Nun” episode of Father Brown) allowing her to serve as a scientific adviser to the local police on investigations

I watched one episode of each simply to know what folks are talking about.
