I got into English detective series (I think I've seen them all) by watching <i>Morse</i> and living in hope that someday one of them would equal its genius. None of them ever has. I do love many of the ones you mention (especially <i>Foyle's War</i> and <i>Lewis</i>), but they are pale imitations of the great one.<br /><br />The final episode is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. The scene where Lewis says goodbye to his boss makes me sob every time I watch it -- which is relatively often.<br /><br />Having said all this, however, I must admit that ITV hit it out of the park last autumn with <i>Grantchester</i>. If you haven't seen it, I can't recommend it highly enough.<br /><br />Wonderful review, Mark. You've inspired me to pull my DVDFs off the shelf and re-watch a few episodes.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80624974399686866822015-10-20T09:42:07.209-04:002015-10-20T09:42:07.209-04:00I can't really say Josie, since I watched Mors...I can't really say Josie, since I watched Morse then Lewis, but I would recommend giving Morse a try.

I have...What a lovely review of this series, Mark!<br /><br />I haven't seen any of the Inspector Morse episodes. But I am a fan of Inspector Lewis, and I wonder if, by approaching it backwards, I would be unable to appreciate Morse.
