Season 1 Review:
His [Matthew Lewis'] chemistry with Amanda Redman, who plays Daniel’s mother, Audrey, is top-notch. .... Their occasionally prickly bond is built from equal parts snarky banter, emotional repression, and affection, resulting in something that feels unlike almost anything else in this genre space at the moment.

Season 1 Review:
Murder Before Evensong joins the ranks of Father Brown, Sister Boniface Mysteries and Grantchester. Unlike its bedfellows, however, this series is not purely escapist and Coles has used the generic framework of cosy crime for his own, more personal purposes. Without Amanda Redman’s Audrey, however, it would be as dry as a Communion wafer.
