(DVD Inspector)
As a longtime fan of the Inspector Morse series starring John Thaw, I was happy to see that the producers decided to continue the series after Thaw’s death by focusing on his partner, detective Robbie Lewis. One of the things that I loved most about the Morse series was the relationship between Endeavour Morse and his not-so-bright sergeant, Lewis. Lewis is not only mourning the loss of his partner, Morse, but also his wife, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident. With a new sergeant to train, things look rather bleak for Inspector Lewis in Oxford, England — a city which seems to have more than its share of murders. Sergeant Hathaway is played by Laurence Fox, son of another great British actor, James Fox. Hathaway’s cool demeanor and Oxford education help to complement the down-to-earth and easy-going nature of Lewis. So far I have watched the first three seasons of Inspector Lewis but still have many more to go. The chemistry between actors Kevin Whately (Lewis), Laurence Fox (Hathaway) and Clare Holman (Dr. Laura Hobson) makes this an enjoyable mystery series to watch. I highly recommend it, especially for fans of Colin Dexter’s detective Morse.
(If you enjoy this, you may also
wish to try the original Inspector Morse series, and the prequel series Endeavour.)
