In reply to the discussion: Does anyone here watch Grantchester on PBS? [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(131,577 posts)5. I like it.
The main character is probably a bit more liberal than a 1950s small-town English vicar might have been, but it's an enjoyable series. The only thing is that this little country village seems to have a worse murder rate than Mogadishu. Another British series, Midsomer Murders, is like that, too - in a town that's probably smaller than Podunk, Nebraska, people are constantly getting murdered in strange ways and for weird and complex reasons. But what the heck, it's entertainment.

Not sure of the season #. Ms. Macguire got married, and Geordie & Sidney called off their affairs.

He drinks quite heavily as well. I suppose he's fairly young and it hasn't caught up with him

I know, I think he is the one character who really pulls on my heartstrings the most.
