Much like most of the episodes that preceded it, the penultimate installment of Grantchester Season 9 is a mixed bag. An hour that finally sees several of the season's seemingly disparate story threads come together in a way that indicates its most annoying subplots were meant to be

If the latest episode of Grantchester is anything to go by, that recent internet trend about men being obsessed with the Roman Empire has been true for much longer than TikTok has been around. The discovery of some Roman-era remains in local farmers Marcus and Della Blakely's (Cavan

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

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 simultaneously

Due to the ineffable whims of scheduling, the last two episodes of Grantchester Season 8 arrived together, airing back-to-back on PBS Masterpiece as a two-hour block. And, while that particularly broadcast decision was perhaps an unintentional one, the pairing of the final two episodes of the season ultimately really works

Even if Masterpiece hadn't already announced that Tom Brittney would be leaving Grantchester at the end of this season, at this point, I think most of us would be expecting it. (Though, admittedly, I do appreciate the powers that be confirming that the show will continue with Whitstable

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

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

Grantchester is something of an oddity in the British mystery world — a character-focused drama in which the crime is often the least important thing happening in any given episode. Rather than set up elaborate red herrings to surprise viewers with the identity of who committed any given crime, the series
