Cerebral crime procedural featuring lots of literary references and scenic Oxford
Note: Amazon first made Series 3&4 available via streaming (free for Prime members) several months ago, and another fan of the series made it known to me that Series One and Two are now available via streaming (free for Prime members).
Kevin Whately, the consummate actor who portrayed Chief Inspector Morse's (John Thaw) long-suffering Detective Sergeant Lewis on "Inspector Morse", is now Detective Inspector Lewis in "Inspector Lewis", a high quality investigative drama set in the academic town of Oxford, England.
Having watched all of the Inspector Morse episodes, I can see the evolution of Lewis' character (brilliantly portrayed by Kevin Whately) from a diligent albeit lowly sergeant under the guidance of the amazing Chief Inspector Morse (John Thaw) to a confident, outspoken, yet still down to earth DI who now has his own underling in the form of the intellectual, gifted DS Hathaway (Lawrence Fox).
Season 2 of Inspector Lewis is quite an engaging...
Excellent British Mysteries!
If you love a good mystery with interesting characters and lots of twisty plots then these are for you. These are only bested by Misummer Murder Mysteries. I love the wonderful stories, beautiful English landscapes, lilting accents and intriguing whodunits. Only for the true mystery fan!
I Still Miss Morse but Lewis Fills the Void Very Well
In my opinion nobody does mystery and crime better than the British. Lewis is right up there with the best of them: Lynley, Havers, Wexler, Morse, Daziel & Pasco, etc, etc. etc. Lewis and Hathaway are a thoroughly enjoyable and a less acerbic team than were Inspector Morse and the then Sergeant Lewis but the stories are intelligent and almost as twisty as they were in Morse's day. I enjoy the compassion and humor between Lewis and Hathaway and the two make a good team. I look forward to every episode and hope the series continues for a long time to come.
