Is there still a Downton Abbey-shaped hole in your heart? Do you like murder, mystery, and massive amounts of tea? Have you ever thought to yourself, "Jeez, I wish this show had more dramatic shots of rolling hills and quaint villages"? If any of these concerns have ever flitted through your head, then boy oh boy do I have the show for you: Grantchester, a Masterpiece Classics piece that is currently streaming on Amazon.

The show follows the antics of vicar Sidney Chambers, a young clergyman whose life is fairly normal for post-war England: he has an uppity landlady, a favorite pub, a crush on his best friend Amanda. However, all this is turned upside down when he is faced with not a difficult sermon to write but a full-on murder case within his parish.

Soon, he's tracking down killers and solving mysteries with the local detective...and it turns out that he might have originally chosen the wrong line of work. Detective Chambers rather than Vicar Chambers, anyone?

While the plot is intriguing and exciting, the visuals of the show are even better. A beautiful setting in the English countryside with a colorful cast of characters who range from comic relief to tragic muses, Grantchester carefully balances a storyline that could easily become too dreary or too campy without a single misstep.

If you're ever in need of a new show, I would highly suggest you check out Grantchester; there are certainly enough episodes out, as two seasons are available on Amazon, a third is being aired, and a fourth one has been confirmed with an unknown cast. In short, Grantchester is here to stay, and I suggest you check it out before you run out of time to catch up!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
