#flambrown

Thing a lot of Father Brown adaptations do wrong in terms of being an accurate adaptation is making Father Brown himself too nice, too social, too law abiding, and too normal. Never forget that book Father Brown straight up admits to only having one (1) friend in all the world, Flambeau, while Flambeau himself is the one who has lots and lots of friends and Father Brown is just his best friend. In every book story with Flambeau in it, Flambeau is the one who has to do all the socialising and normal human interaction and niceties because he's better at it. And that's really saying something considering there's multiple stories where Flambeau full-bodily throws someone down a flight of stairs just because he panicked and didn't know how else to stop them doing something.
