3/4
Wrapping in Morse's passion for opera and crossword puzzles, Endeavour is most interesting for the light it sheds on the character development of young Morse. Go to Full Review Gabriel Tate Time Out 07/03/2018
Even by 'Morse' standards, the solution is on the opaque side of tricksy, but seasoned Morse watchers will enjoy the careful integration of familiar elements. Go to Full Review Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal 06/09/2014
You don't have to be familiar with the Inspector Morse series in order to enjoy Endeavour. But the experience will be many times richer if you do recognize this new film as a prequel to the old show. Go to Full Review Pattie Pegler The Post NZ 04/26/2017
This is perfect Sunday night viewing - there are bodies but no real gore, confrontations but no real violence. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 06/09/2014
A treat for the faithful. Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 07/08/2013
This episode could have spent more time on character and made the story simpler. But the fact that it leaves us wanting more Morse is a good thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Leonid V Jun 24 Spectacular! The Fugue episode was better than most motion pictures. And the whole Mad Men era and style add to the clever and engaging writing and character development. See more Flogo N 03/23/2023 Fantastic series & cast spot on. I watched the final episode series 9 last night & it was brilliant ! Well done to writers, cast & all involved- attention to detail 👌I'm from Sydney & we've been enjoying this program for years. See more Kathy G 02/16/2023 I love this series. The characters, settings and stories are very engaging. I'm hooked. See more 05/08/2020 I loved this show! I am not sure why the critics scored it so low. I think sometimes the critics are trying hard to be contrary. See more 05/04/2019 Endeavor is The Best Mystery Series of all Time. The Morse prequel tops its venerable predecessors, Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis. Madmen's retro-style and storytelling + Joan Hickson's Miss Marple's picturesque appeal and well crafted plots + Cumberbatch's Sherlock's modern production values. An indefensible Cupid's arrow to the heart of any bibliophile, anglophile, and mystery buff. See more 02/11/2019 11 out of 10! A must watch if you’re a Mose fan. See more Read all reviews
