Inspector Lewis: Generation of Vipers (2012)
Season 6, Episode 2
8/10
Ending lacked intensity in a well written story.

A rare British detective mystery that was quite interesting all the way through without a boring buildup leading to the first murder that most have. Also the in and out characters were very unique mostly unlikable which is integral to a quality story.

The introduction of Jason Durr as generic DI Alan Peterson was a bit of a head scratcher that added nothing. Hope he's one and done. The series is on an outstanding roll with mostly excellently written episodes.

All three in and out arrogant despicable male characters were reduced to quivering jelly which was welcome seeing them busted down to size.

The ending though decent and plausible was a touch blase lacking the excitement of many higher rated episodes. Extended screentime for Clare Holman as Dr. Laura Hobson which is always a plus. A low-key toupee for Kevin Whately appears to be settled on.

A solid episode that was a fun view just not one of the series' best. Romance hanging in limbo of Lewis and Dr Laura needs some definition. The possible couple teasing is getting repetitive and feels like a rubber stamp obligatory add-on.
