Everyone needs that jerk of a friend to force you to celebrate your birthday when you'd rather be wallowing in the misery of the current state of the universe. I've got one (waves at the previous byline), you probably have one, and every vicar in Grantchester

The sixth installment of Patience, which is the show's Season 1 finale, “Pandora’s Box,” is a story of eco-terrorism and double agents where Metcalf nearly dies. This has been a fun season of television, and I’ll admit my perspective softened after interviewing writer Matt Baker
