I really did enjoy this story of a Vicar who gets involved in police investigations something a Anglican version of Father Brown, only in this the bromance between Sidney and DI Keating is a joy to behold. It deals with post traumatic stress and while Sidney thought he wanted a quiet life he keeps getting caught up in mysteries.

It is well done and well acted and I have to admit that James Norton is easy on the eyes. There was period appropriate smoking but it looked wrong to my more modern eyes. (
