Paul Evans As a Morse addict I was sceptical about a prequel, prequels are very much in vogue, not always successful, the likes of Prime Suspect flopped, but Endeavour has continued to exceed my expectations. The devastation I felt when Morse went, then Poirot, then finally Foyle's War was pretty big, three of the best shows from the last twenty years in my opinion, but Endeavour has taken the mantle.Morse had a unique quality, different to all others, I truly feel that all those behind Endeavour have managed to capture that DNA and bring it to life. Shaun Evans is magical in the role, as the show goes on I feel that he's really managed o capture the essence of John Thaw, he'd have been proud. Roger Allam was the perfect actor to cast as Thursday, he is consistently superb, a joy to watch. I also love the fact that Abigail Thaw was given a recurring role, respectful. That also extends to the appearances of Colin Dexter, until his death in 2017.The Morse series was so rich in detail that Endeavour could well run for several years, the content is so deliciously high in quality that there's plenty to draw from.So many brilliant episodes, favourites of mine include Quartet, Icarus and Neverland, but how do you chose? Please let this run for many years, viewing at its best. 10/10

grolss I've just finished watching series 5. This is as good as it gets. I'm a great fan of the original Inspector Morse series and a true lover of the Lewis series. Morse, Lewis and Hathaway, they all made their way in to my heart. But this series (all seasons)... The casting is so extraordinary! Shaun Evans is cut out for being the young Morse and he's not by far the best casting of them all. Sean Rigby as Strange, now that's a world class casting! Roger Allam as DI Thursday, I just love him and Anton Lesser as the stiff, but good-hearted, CSI Bright, what a treat. James Bradshaw as Dr DeBryn and Dakota Blue Richards as WPC Trewlove. Even minor characters as DC Fancy, Joan Thursday and the reporter Frazil are spot on. They even manage to combine intelligent crime puzzles with actual life. The plot is not driven by police acting like morons or breaking all the rules. No, it's carried by intelligence. And on the same time there are subtle, but important, underlying story lines of families and love interests. But they are subtle! Never taking over, just tickling your interest and making you want to see more. For me, born in the 60's and growing up in the 70's this is so good. A walk down memory lane to the times when a phone was what you had at hand. If people didn't answer, they were out. I just wish younger people could watch this and realise that the world works perfectly fine, without them being online. As someone once said to me: "The graveyard is full of indispensable people" and these days we seem to be even more convinced the world will fall apart if we don't... update... For series 6 I actually can't decide what I'm most excited about. Them finding the killer or the potential love story?

medea05 Re. Season 5 episode 3 - PassengerSeries 5 is actually known to take place in 1968 - in fact, the radio announcer clearly said that Robert Kennedy had been shot, which took place in June 1968. Now, the whole 'blue coloured diesel engines' business - whether that's wrong, I have no idea!I'm enjoying this season quite a lot - Shaun Evans really works as young Morse.

kadushke I found this show totally by accident - I was looking for something new to watch, and this handsome young man cought my eye :) Shows description was nice too,, so I decided to give it a try. And I completelly fell in love with it from the very begining. What facinates me most - it is obvious how much mork it is put into this show - it is not just another dull detective show, no - the story line is always complex, intriguent, it keeps you on your toes, and make you to twist your mind aswell. Shaun Evans is brilliant actor - the way he represents young Morse, it's ohhh, let just say - I fell in love with them bouth :))So if you are looking for good, twisted detective story, lovable characers - this show is perfect for you - enjoy! ;)
