Blu-ray Review - Endeavour: Series 1
July 15, 2013
I wasn't familiar with the character of Inspector Morse when I reviewed the pilot for the prequel series "Endeavour" a few months ago. Perhaps this was for the best, as I didn't cling to any expectations when it came time to understand how the detective should be played. After years as a literary series (from author Colin Dexter) and a longstanding ITV program, it makes sense to return a little youth to the dramatic equation, allowing all idiosyncrasies and mysteries a cleansing reboot with "Endeavour," a show that convincingly refreshes the franchise. Playing nostalgic with its sixties setting and submitting powerful work from stars Shaun Evans and Roger Allam, the effort is rich with mood and stuffed with snappy whodunit attitude, sure to please those who've invested plenty of time with the "Inspector Morse" universe.
