More Critic Reviews for Endeavour Series 1 All Critics (7) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (3) This episode could have spent more time on character and made the story simpler. But the fact that it leaves us wanting more Morse is a good thing. Jul 8, 2013 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic This is perfect Sunday night viewing - there are bodies but no real gore, confrontations but no real violence. Apr 26, 2017 | Full Review… Pattie Pegler Stuff.co.nz Even by 'Morse' standards, the solution is on the opaque side of tricksy, but seasoned Morse watchers will enjoy the careful integration of familiar elements. Jul 3, 2018 | Full Review… Gabriel Tate Time Out Top Critic The unfussy approach that worked for Morse also works best for Endeavour. Jul 8, 2013 | Full Review… Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Top Critic If you love English mysteries, and love the old Inspector Morse, you will love young inspector Morse more. Jul 8, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Linda Stasi New York Post Top Critic For Endeavour to work, Morse has to take his place among those titans of the detective genre who transcend the actors who play them. Jul 7, 2013 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Alasdair Wilkins AV Club Top Critic Given another opportunity to wallow, tastefully, in nostalgia for its predecessor, the new show doesn't miss a beat.
