If you love English mysteries, and love the old Inspector Morse, you will love young inspector Morse more.
It is a suitably complicated and pictorially engaging work of period suburban mystery, with a large cast of characters

A treat for the faithful.
All good stuff, plus a brief but powerful moment at the end that will leave longtime "Morse" fans in an agony of nostalgia
Endeavour is most interesting for the light it sheds on the character development of young Morse.
Endeavour is wonderfully entertaining on its own, but what puts it over the top is its loving respect for John Thaw.
The ending mars what is otherwise a handsome and well-written effort, with good supporting performances.
This attempt to create Morse at an earlier date fails on several levels. To start with the actor chosen would never in a millenia be confused with John Thaw, but enough of trifles. Secondly the detective work is second only to Sherlock Holmes in it's masterful ability to find clues from the ether and transform them into definitive explanations of the killers motives. And all in the last five minutes! Lastly it boasts the most adamantine popinjay character as Chief of Police as ever graced TV. It's a nice period piece, but otherwise a typically British piece of fluff. Stylish with little substance.
