This is smart, thoughtful television. The stories unravel soul motives and desires that remind me of P.D. James novels. The relationship between Inspector and Sargent Lewis is great to watch unfold. Then to watch Lewis as Inspector and Sargent Hathaway ... it just gets better. It adds to the story that they are currently making the prequel series of Morse as a young man. Developing what we see as the mature Morse, it's the best yet. The new series set in the 1960's Oxford are visually beautiful to watch. The filming has also significantly improved over the early Morse shows. For Americans who just can't watch one more predictable episode of Law & Order, you should check this out.
