An excellent continuation to Morse, 3 January 2007
9/10
Author: hrma from United Kingdom

Keeps up the style of Morse, and one can definitely begin to see his personality resurfacing in his former protégé. Well worth watching, especially for all those who miss Endeavour. The plot is very well constructed, and feels like one of Dexters original books. Lewis is slowly turning into a Norhtern version of Morse, but with a more hands on approach, and he is still forsaking the real ale. This story tells the tale of Jealousy and a group of former friends from one of Oxfords colleges 20 years on from there university days. The murders begin with the death of one of the group on a boat, complex and twisting tale unfolds surrounding the events of now and then. There is a definite gelling of the relationships between the Detectives as they start to work to each others strengths and weaknesses. Viewers will be familiar with the filming style and the advantages taken of Oxfords many beautiful locations and settings. Laurence Fox excels in Whatelys former role of the capable sidekick, and whatley himself seems to be settling nicely into the role of effective and efficient superior.
