Will Davenport may have avoided going to prison for his role in the motorcycle accident that killed an innocent passerby, but if the third episode of Grantchester Season 8 is anything to go by, he certainly hasn't escaped punishment. In the wake of last week's devastating

Ridley starts at the jazz club again, but this time it's not Adrian Dunbar showing off his golden tones. Instead, it's Eve Marbury (two-time Olivier Award winner for musicals Carousel and My Fair Lady Joanna Riding) who kicks off this week's story by having

The second episode of Grantchester Season 8 doesn't waste any time on set-up, immediately jumping back into events of last week's dramatic cliffhanger, namely, whether Will Davenport killed a man. And, despite the suspicions of some of us (read: me) that this twist might be some

Footage of a funeral, motorcycles, and the creation of a wedding dress opens "Exeunt," the series finale of Endeavour. It’s both an end and a beginning for Morse, in an episode steeped in memories, regrets, and discoveries. Given the progression of the series with its twists and

Most series that focus on Ireland, especially the U.K.'s section of Northern Ireland, either tell stories about "The Troubles," whether a period piece or a contemporary set story, or they tend to be mysteries about serial killers. (Sometimes, like in the case of Bloodlands, it&

“It always starts with a body,” intones Superintendent Jolliphant (Kevin McNally) on the TV show Jolly For Short. Thursday looks remarkably unimpressed as the episode reveals a case of a crooked cop, but Win, beside him on the sofa, seems to be enjoying herself. Meanwhile, down at the station, CS

On paper, Ridley seemed like a show already a home run before it debuted. The series stars Line of Duty's Adrian Dunbar as the titular Alex Ridley, a retired detective whose former protege, DI Carol Farman (Bronagh Waugh), brings him back in a consulting role to help solve

As one of the U.K.'s newest start-up streaming services, Alibi is still building a library of original series to work from. So far, the mystery and detective-oriented niche service have done well, with hits like Annika, The Diplomat, Traces, and We Hunt Together, to name a few.
