   Father Brown is a Catholic version of "Grantchester" which is a masterpiece Mystery TV series from England (both are from England) and set in a post war approximately 1950. So people are very controlled compared to where they got to after the 1960s.

    

   There is sort of a dividing line in control that hit starting around 1960 to 1965 not only in England but also in the U.S. and then all around the Western World and even into Russia at that time also. So, after 1965 creativity and social revolution began.

    

   However, in 1950 everyone was recovering from World War II and trying to find their way once again.

    

   So, it is more like 1900 to 1965 in the way people thought, felt and acted. So, religion had not been questioned to the degree it has now in society and everything was much more formal than now both in the U.S. and England. Some people long for the relative cultural security of those times. Other rejoice in the new freedoms we have today and others are sort of in between or unsure of what they feel about the eras.

    

   However, no one likes the increasing terrorism in the world since from around the early 1960s on.

   
   

   I found "Father Brown" at PBS here in my area last night on TV so I dvred it. I liked it enough like "Grantchester" which is now following Downton Abbey on Sunday night where I live in Northern California.
