Anyone watch this. Opinions welcome. I personally thought it was a load of rubbish.

I've just watched it this morning and it seems to be very lightweight compared to some detective series. Not much of a storyline. I may give it one more week to see if it improves.

recorded it - watched the first fifteen minutes and thought it seems quite good - we'll see

I usually live on the sports channels but as there was nothing on i watched Grantchester.

Highly unlikely plot but I enjoyed it. Nice to see a programme which basically applied old fashioned standards to television drama.

Happy days

I must say I enjoyed this first programme,
looks promising.

I quite liked it - its something different for a change - It got better the longer I watched it - i got lost in the first 2 parts but by the end i was enjoying it

It’s a bit like father Brown but without the comedy element - at least they can act in Father Brown and all have personalities - and very good story lines

So far there are no likeable characters in Grantchester -

The vicar has awful taste in Music & women and no personality - not even sure about any acting ability yet he sort of wondered his way about - i know he can ride a bike well

I like Robson Green anyway (from Casulty & soldier Soldier and the other wire in the blood thingy)

The girl wants her cake & eat it too, again no personality (yet) already made up my mind I dont like her as she does not treat people very well

I have to admit - i knew who the guilty person was from the start of part 3 once i had worked out what had happened & sorted out the plot- good job i taped it as i fell asleep after the first 10 mins - so had to rewind it - no wonder I lost the plot at first.

Last Monday 13th October

such a waste of Space - dont think I will watch it again

I tried but gave up.

I liked it in an odd sort of way, I don't know
what draws me in to it.

I think that Grantchester it is aimed at people who find the likes of Happy Valley, Red Riding, Peaky Blinders and Silent Witness a bit too much but have moved on a little from Miss Marple.

TV is for everyone.

I found it boring beyond measure and gave up somewhere in episode 1 and a couple of samples since. I still find old episodes of Z-cars in black and white riveting. Thinking of another thread I was really sad when James Ellis died. Along with "Morse" has there ever been any better crime series from the UK?

The one I can't get into is Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch,
so boring imo, prefer old style with Basil Rathborne and Peter Cushing.

Edit...and Jeremy Brett.

A bit light weight but I do enjoy Lewis and Midsummer Murders (prefering the 'old' version to the new). But Morse was favourite and, yes used to love Z cars.

Watched the first episode and we both said nope not watching again :-(

Although a US series

I LOVE Longmire

and our very own Scott and Bailey

So looking forward to new Broadchurch

I quite enjoyed the first 2.

I love detective series.

Rollo - are you sure you meant Brian Blessed as he is still very much alive

I agree with you as i still love to watch Morse

as well as Miss Marple (the real one Joan Hickson) Lewis & Endeavour gives you something to think about

Watched the first 2 episodes yesterday afternoon, really enjoyed them

Must say I enjoyed last nights episode.

and I must say both of us decided its rather slow and a little boring.

What surprizes me is Robson Green NOT in a leading role :-0

Although I wasn't sure about the first episode I watched the 2nd and 3rd episodes that I had recorded (because our TV service was off this morning) and I must say I am getting into it. There seems to be some background information coming out for the Vicar's character. I'm not sure if there are more episodes to come?
