Believe it or not, things are heating up even more on D.I. Ray as Rachita Ray finally closes in on putting all the puzzle pieces of Frank Chapman's murder together. Our lead investigator has doubted Rav Mochani's involvement in the murder since she spoke to

Grantchester may be a series that has evolved into an ensemble piece, but it's always been a show predominantly about men. It has its share of entertaining female characters: vicarage caretaker Mrs. C, Geordie's wife Cathy, and police secretary Miss Scott; however, the show's

The fifth episode of Professor T starts out wanting you to believe Jasper is once again accused of murder, but that’s false. He just won his freedom and cleared his name – legally, if not professionally – and is attempting to reclaim his place at Cambridge. Luckily, that is not what

Masterpiece's Van der Valk, ITV's remake of the 1970s era original starring Barry Foster, has never been a significant headliner series. The initial Dutch series was itself an oddity; it was one of the few non-BBC shows from the 1970s that hit big. (The theme

Will Rachita Ray ever have an easy week on D.I. Ray? If she does, it wasn't this week. Rav Mochani (Taha Rahim) didn't die after being shot by police at the end of last week's episode, but he is in a coma; Rachita

We teach best what we most need to learn; this week, Jasper is the perfect example of this idiom, gaining wisdom and (eventually) embracing humility in Professor T's fourth episode. He haunts his old lecture hall – both when empty and when occupied by his replacement, Erik Haiden (Cornelius

Rachita cannot catch a break on D.I. Ray. She may not have ended up as more collateral damage in a blossoming gang war as we suspected at the end of last week's episode, but it's two steps back for every break she makes in the

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

It is unclear how much time has passed since the second episode, but this week finds the Professor at his trial for the attempted murder of Simon Lanesborough. Simon’s crookedness is not questioned, but what happened to him is not mentioned. Was he jailed? We don’t see him

When people think of long-running series on PBS, they think of Sesame Street, Antiques Roadshow, and Agatha Christie's Poirot. But the Inspector Morse Universe began in 1988 on Mystery!, spanned Masterpiece's 2007 merger for brands and the move to Sunday nights from Thursdays under Inspector
