-
This ninth and final series of Endeavour, prequel to the adaptation of Colin Dexter’s Morse novels, starts with an intricate and sure-footed episode directed by Shaun Evans.
-
This final series has been written to reward long-term fans, with references to past cases thrown in. A character we haven’t seen for a few seasons made an unexpected return. Morse seems restored after unravelling in the last series. But there was also a new string of murders to solve.
-
Let us say that the oft-times convoluted plot and the occasional absurdity are worth enduring for the personalities—Morse, Thursday and the wonderfully dry police pathologist, Dr. Max DeBryn (James Bradshaw).
-
It all made for a slightly sprawling instalment but one that still ticked the required boxes of a classy and comforting Sunday night watch.
