Unlike most on here, I've never watch Inspector Morse before, not even heard of it. I've seen some of the Inspector Lewis, but not in a regular basis, and not knowing his relationship with Morse. But ever a fan of the thriller/mystery genre, nothing more interesting than watching detective series. Came across Endeavour when I was randomly flipping channel and caught a recent episode on PBS. Immediately intrigued, I went straight to get my hand on the Pilot.
There are many things to like about. A change of pace for certain, when I'm used to watching modern detective series which nowadays technology does most the works. Love the period piece, the 60s in England has its charm (though I was told that Oxford hasn't changed much even to these days). The language is different from modern day and very pleasant.
Obviously, not knowing how Mr. Thaw played the character, I watch Endeavour with fresh eyes. Have to say I like what I'm seeing. In the Pilot, a very unsure young man trying to find his way in the world. Shaun Evans' interpretation of the young character won me over immediately. He portrayed the nuance of the characters rather brilliantly. Just a look at his face and you feel the angst, the longing, the doubt and the determination. I've never heard of Shaun Evans before watching Endeavour, but just one view and I'm a big fan now. Also brilliant is Roger Allam, very likable father figure to the young Morse.
Since then, I binge all 5 series in many days. I like the classical music, and occasionally some modern one. I like all the regular characters, they make me laugh a little and cry once in awhile. I like the wit of some dialogue, and most importantly, I like those plots that twist my brain a little more often than not.
