Has Anyone Followed the Inspector Morse Series? Inspector Morse, Lewis, and Endeavour? Thoughts?

I have been overwhelmed with the series. to the point that I have purchased the DVDS. I have never felt television to fit. this fits.

your take?

Loved them. My favorite was Dalziel and Pascoe.

Love this show. Discovered it during covid.

One thing I notice in almost all current cop shows… almost everything gets solved with surveillance video, or you have a kooky kid working the computer and occasionally hacking into databases he/she isn’t supposed to access.

I like the series that don’t rely on that so much.

They all sort of run together. And they aren't very realistic. Thames Valley has very few murders. Usually no more than two a month, but now they are getting as many as three a week, which gives Morse and Lewis, and whoever the other guy is plenty of work to do now.

The shows are better than Grantchester, which from what I've seen has gone in big for political correctness. Inspector George Gently also turned out to be a PC guru far ahead of his time in 1960s Tyneside. The problem with series that go on and on is that you forget where you stopped watching, and when you get a new set you are often disappointed that you've seen it before and know who the murderers are.

Laurence Fox (from the big Fox acting family) played Hathaway in Lewis and is now Hunter Biden in My Son Hunter. He is decidedly not "politically correct."

It seems like everyone in showbiz, especially British showbiz, is either related to everyone else or has been married or in a relationship with everyone else. It's a little like the Mafia or the Nomenklatura.

I stream Endeavour on my Amazon tablets thru Amazon Prime.

Update!

As Morse takes his last case after 36 years, JOHN MAIR writes a poignant farewell to the grumpy, boozy, lonely... but oh, how we'll miss Britain's cleverest copper

My dad John Thaw cried watching Morse die on screen... after acting in the hit series' prequel I can understand why
