    Taking on a "master" like John Thaw took some courage. The new series captures the atmosphere of the time and the setting at Oxford very effectively and the pacing of the action was perfect. Weaving in the opera, Jaguar and other features of the original Morse was done with a sensitive and deft touch. Bravo for another quality show for those who enjoy the finer aspects of drama on theTaking on a "master" like John Thaw took some courage.

    This PBS Masterpiece Mystery was epic! The young Inspector Morse to those who have viewed the old Morse series! Funny the things you fine when there's no NBA, NFL or College Basketball on a Sunday!

    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.… Expand

    If you love English mysteries, and love the old Inspector Morse, you will love young inspector Morse more.

    Endeavour is most interesting for the light it sheds on the character development of young Morse.

    The ending mars what is otherwise a handsome and well-written effort, with good supporting performances.
