Inspector Morse plot

Morse is an intelligent bachelor with a romantic streak and good taste. He likes architecture, classical music and classic cars, but also a good glass of beer. He is also not always very tactical with his subordinate, adjutant Lewis. The university city of Oxford is the setting for their investigations into mysterious murder cases.

Inspector Morse season 1

Morse: "Bear is food."
Lewis: "It's for you!"

Already a long way on the road with seeing the entire series again. I had to get used to the Morse character a bit, because he's not an easy guy. But just like with Frost, for example, you can still enjoy the quality and atmosphere of a sincere English detective who doesn't have to rely on unbelievable twists, exaggerated gory and action or other nonsense. And one of the most beautiful recognition tunes I know, always at the end of the episode.

The (beautiful) setting in upscale Oxford and its environs often produces special things and characters, but Morse himself, with the initially somewhat goofy 'counterpart / assistant' Lewis as a refreshing contrast, is an exemplary warlike grumble with often interesting reflections and perspectives.

Every episode is completely spot on, but for now the favorite is 'Cherubim and Seraphim', because Morse's personal involvement in the case turns out very interesting and the image of youth in the 90s, which is quite familiar to me, appeals extra.

From 4.0* to 4.5*, which has been coming for a while.

Inspector Morse season 6

Watched Absolute conviction again yesterday. I think it's one of the better of the sixth season, something that is partly due to the strong cast. Besides Thaw and Whately, Richard Wison, Sean Bean and especially Jim Broadbent have some great and well-known actors in the guest roles. Story about whether or not murder in a half-open model prison is also in order. Strong denouement, although it comes out of the blue.
