This prequel to the legendary Inspector Morse series brings us a newly minted DC (Dectective Constable) Morse working his first case in Oxford. There he meets his mentor DCI Thursday, played by "V For Vendetta's" Roger Allam, who introduces Morse to his most familiar thinking tool, a pint of the amber nectar. Opera also plays a huge role, with Puccini arias ever present and we see Morse meet one of his singing heroine. As with most of the women that Morse shows affection for, she ends up disappointing him. Watch for John Thaw's daughter Abigail who gives us an inside joke and a flash of the late, great John Thaw reflected back to his younger incarnation. "Endeavour" continues a season of triumphs for the PBS Masterpiece series, with the latest "Inspector Lewis" series to air in the coming weeks.
