Campion Flowers for the Judge: Part 1 (1989–1990) Online

At the Golden Quill publishing house Paul Brand is at odds with his partners the Barnabas cousins - notably stuffy senior partner John - over publication of a rare manuscript by William Congreve. Then he is found murdered, locked in the firm's basement with a hose piping poisonous car fumes through a hole in the window. Michael Barnabas, a friend of Campion, is in love with the dead man's wife who, at the inquest, makes it clear that she and her husband were filing for divorce. Consequently Michael is charged with the murder.

Coming on the heels of two back-to-back Campion stories in the show's second season which were set in stunning English countryside and exquisitely acted, this installment is by definition an anticlimax. The office setting is dark and claustrophobic. To make things worse, the direction is rushed; most of the female characters come across as caricatures; and Lugg the once-loyal sidekick inexplicably and abruptly goes from folksy to openly nasty and antagonistic. (A servant in the 1930s telling his blue-blooded master to "keep your shirt on"? Even Downton Abbey couldn't get away with that.) Overall, I felt like I was viewing something very "now" and millennial, filmed in 2017: Amidst the manic pace, I got all the male protagonists mixed up right off the bat, then watched partly in confusion, partly debating with myself if I should just skip to the next story.
