8/10
View from a Inspector Morse newbie
4 September 2013
I've never seen the show. All I know is that it's a long running police show in Britain. So I have no preconceived notion. The pace is a little slow. The British accent is a little thick. The production is good. The story is pretty good. Murder mystery plus corruption hits all the right notes for a cop show. What I like the most however is the Morse character.

Far too often, young police is often shown as fearless. Morse isn't always right. The one scene that impressed me most was when the sleazy suspect actually threaten and backed Morse down. You see the stunned fear on his face that's almost never happens to a lead in a cop show. He's a realistic character. I can see great potential for the character.
