The intriguing drama weaves together three characters\u2019 storylines \u2013 a vicar in a quaint English town (Tennant), a prisoner on death row in the US (Stanley Tucci), and a maths teacher trapped in a cellar (Dolly Wells).<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear at this stage how their paths cross, but it\u2019s safe to believe they do so in an unexpected way. Speaking of his character, Vicar Harry Watling, and how his story fits in with the others\u2019, Tennant said: \u201c[It\u2019s] very hard to sum up, because there are two separate worlds going side by side.<\/p>\n
\u201cPart of the joy of watching the show is wondering if these worlds are ever going to collide. But from my character\u2019s point of view, it\u2019s a story about a man who, in pursuit of doing the right thing, makes a series of catastrophically bad decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
They must be catastrophic indeed, to put him in the path of Tucci\u2019s prisoner Jefferson Grieff, who is serving time for murdering his wife. He also happens to be a criminologist who solves crimes from the inside.<\/p>\n

When you read that first episode it\u2019s hugely intriguing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese two very distinct storylines are both entirely plausible, textured and fascinating in themselves and they are running side by side. It\u2019s very difficult I think to immediately imagine how they will ever come together on different sides of the world, for these characters living entirely separate existence, they couldn\u2019t seem to be more different.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet as an audience we assume there must be some link but really we\u2019re quite far into the story before those links start to appear. It\u2019s part of the set-up of the sort of puzzle of that along with the almost breath-taking awfulness of what occurs, the incremental steps to doom that Harry takes, the unravelling of normality. Steven described it as a sitcom that goes terribly wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
