I didn’t expect it to actually be named Episode 1 when I went back to put it in the post title! There you go.
So, my friend has been on me to watch Grantchester and her main selling point was that I would have a new ‘ginger prince’ by which I assume she’s trying some sort of CSI Miami intervention. I will never forsake my Hocaine. Never.
Though she was right, Sidney is a very pretty (also very large) man.
As for the show itself, my main thought was ‘this absolutely belongs on a channel called Masterpiece Theatre, this is absolutely the branding going on here’ – I wasn’t excited but I enjoyed it enough I’ll watch the next episode.
I’m not some thrill a minute addict or anything! It was just a little high on the soulful glances and war flashbacks.
