All good stuff, plus a brief but powerful moment at the end that will leave longtime "Morse" fans in an agony of nostalgia Read full review

It is a suitably complicated and pictorially engaging work of period suburban mystery, with a large cast of characters Read full review

Endeavour is wonderfully entertaining on its own, but what puts it over the top is its loving respect for John Thaw. Read full review

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
