The glorious new PBS mystery series Grantchester is a revelation on two fronts and unforgettable on both. It turns back the clock to solve crime in a different era, offering respite from the world around us now even as it reveals how little ever changes about the human heart.
"Grantchester" is back. "Grantchester" is still good. "Grantchester" — even without Sidney — is still "Grantchester." ... Still as gentle as a summer shower.
Fans will likely take to brooding, volatile yet deeply compassionate Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) more quickly than do the melancholy gay curate Leonard or cranky housekeeper Mrs. C. [8-21 Jul 2019, p.15]
It's light and diverting yet respectful of its characters and their histories, thus it can serve as a pleasant, earnest counterbalance to some of TV's darker dramas.
All this unremittingly heteronormative fluff was less interesting than the subplot simmering on the back burner.
Joining the likes of Poirot, Miss Marple, Foyle, Sherlock and a hundred other PBS sleuths is no minor achievement, and Grantchester seems to belong in that company. It is unlikely, however, to break away from the pack.
The main problem at the moment seems to be that the show has run out of steam and needs something to perk it up.
