Every vicar in Grantchester comes with their own set of problems. The series' original Hot Priest, Sidney Chambers (James Norton), came with issues straight out of James Runcie's novels: a working-class WWII vet whose ascent to the priesthood elevated him out of his original class status,

Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator, but the fashion icon knew what she was on about when she (apocrophally) said “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” It’s a rule of thumb that many shows should follow more as well: Before sending it

Grantchester's second episode of its tenth anniversary season starts with its strongest angle: The continuing saga of the life of Geordie Keating and his latest vicar pal. The series doesn't even get to the body until the second act, and then most of what we learn

It's been a decade since Grantchester first debuted on PBS, initially launching in January 2015 on this side of the pond, directly following episodes of Downton Abbey Season 5. The show has come a long way from the direct adaptation of James Runchie's six short stories

Grantchester's ninth season ends much as it lived, with an hour that is...fine, if generally unremarkable. There is nothing shocking about this final hour, which makes a vague attempt at raising the stakes for several characters only to essentially reset things to the series' baseline status

Change is always hard. That's more than evident as Grantchester settles into the third vicar of its run, proving that while the show is more than capable of surviving a significant character change, like anything else, there's an adjustment period involved. Admittedly, things are slightly less

Grantchester has a thing about vicars and their vehicles. Sidney had the bicycle, Will had the motorbike, and now here comes our newest Rev Alphy Kotteram (Rishi Nair) rolling up to the front door in a little red roadster. It doesn't make any of what transpires next any

The moment many of us have been dreading has finally arrived: Will Davenport has officially left Grantchester. Technically, this isn't a surprise, given that we've known Tom Brittney would be departing the show for the past year or so. However, Grantchester still manages to wring maximum

It's the end of an era. (Again.) Mystery series Grantchester is once again undergoing what is rapidly becoming The Time-Honored Tradition of The Changing of The Vicars (three times in eight years!) as star Tom Brittney hangs up his collar. This first episode of the new season
