  • Everyone’s favorite vicar-turned-investigator is back! Grantchester starts off its 8th season with two deadly incidents related to motorcycles. Will struggles to balance married life and parenthood on top of his crime-solving and religious duties. Geordie is asked to consider his future, while Leonard focuses on helping the less fortunate. Mrs. C is struggling with the changing attitudes of the youth. Let’s discuss what happened.
  • Anyone else quietly losing it over the fact that this is the last Endeavour episode ever? I guess there’s nothing for it: the episode is going to air whether we want it to or not, so we might as well crack on with the recap. “Exeunt” (aptly named as always) begins with a funeral. A fancy funeral, with extensive flower arrangements. Meanwhile, our main cast get up to shenanigans, specifically, Sam Thursday stealing money out of Win’s purse (and getting CAUGHT in the act), Joan Thursday having alterations to her wedding dress (not that any of us expected this wedding to get called off, but still), and Morse glumly staring into another excavation site at Blenheim Vale.
  • Saying goodbye to Endeavour on MASTERPIECE feels like losing an old friend.
  • Last time on Endeavour, we got hints that one of the teams’ old cases was back to bite everyone in the ass, the return of Ronnie Box and Sam Thursday, and the consequences of Morse’s (in)action regarding Joan Thursday (her upcoming wedding with Strange). What’s happening THIS week? Oh, just a little show within a show, featuring a detective character called, I crap you not, Jolyon Jolliphant, which is apparently a name a British person can indeed have. Anyway, while Detective Superintendent Jolly Jolliphant does his doubly fictional detecting, at Oxford we’ve got some college shenanigans (members of what seems like a secret society threatening students regarding an upcoming election) and a man creating a painting that will become the book cover of one of the novels that originated the Jolly character.
  • Reader, recapping the final season of a beloved series like Endeavour is bittersweet. Yes, it’s another opportunity to spend some time with wonderful characters, watching fascinating stories unspool on screen. But also, it’s the end of the line; we won’t get more of these people, ever again (somewhat untrue in this case, since Endeavour is part of an extended universe of shows; nothing but respect for my Marvel Cinematic Universe). Anyway, it’s with mixed feelings that I sit down to write these last three recaps, but putting it off won’t do us any favors. Excelsior!
  • For many viewers, this MASTERPIECE season delivered an escape from the stress of the modern world. But recent conversations outside of this fandom have called for a reexamining of what it means for viewers to escape in period dramas.
