Critic Reviews
Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 9 Review:
Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair, instantly appealing). .... [Robson] Green is the endearing, eternal heart of this charming whodunit. [24 Jun - 14 Jul 2024]
Season 1 Review:
Grantchester is a period piece, but it’s fascinating to view it through a contemporary lens. Daisy Coulam’s adaptation is superb: She fleshes out the main characters with a deft hand, to be sure, but takes her time, enabling us to get to know Chambers as we would a new acquaintance.

Season 4 Review:
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]

Season 8 Review:
I could have sketched it out on the back of a fag packet if I smoked, which I don’t, and if you could write on a fag packet, which you can’t because there’s usually a picture of a cancered tongue in the way. Still, it did get interesting … in the final four minutes.

Season 2 Review:
The minister's no saint, but Grantchester is no downer. [21 Mar-3 Apr 2016, p.19]
Season 1 Review:
Grantchester will be breezy fun for fans of the form, though the more discerning will be put off by how rudimentary the actual murder mysteries are after being squeezed into 50 minutes (half the norm for this type of show). Others are liable to find it faintly ridiculous, more of a haiku than an actual drama.
