View Details 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 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. Jul 5, 2013 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times 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 View All Critic Reviews (7) Audience Reviews for Endeavour: Series 1 May 08, 2020 I loved this show! I am not sure why the critics scored it so low. I think sometimes the critics are trying hard to be contrary. Janel G May 04, 2019 Endeavor is The Best Mystery Series of all Time. The Morse prequel tops its venerable predecessors, Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis. Madmen's retro-style and storytelling + Joan Hickson's Miss Marple's picturesque appeal and well crafted plots + Cumberbatch's Sherlock's modern production values. An indefensible Cupid's arrow to the heart of any bibliophile, anglophile, and mystery buff. Umair K Feb 11, 2019 11 out of 10! A must watch if youre a Mose fan. kitty c Nov 05, 2018 Great cast Best of the best stories Thank you Shaun Evans great no the best so far actors Sep 13, 2018 Probably the best prequel series of all time. Sarah P Apr 12, 2018 a brilliant murder mystery set in the 60s Mar 30, 2018 Hugely underrated series. Bravo Evans! Kitty C Oct 30, 2016 The 3 out of 5 critics are out to lunch on this one- its a great series, well written and fine acting. Richard B Apr 02, 2016 Easily as good as the original Morse series. Captures the whole essence of the brilliant detective who's too "posh" for some. Alistair R Jan 26, 2016 Brilliant. Evans is excellent as Morse.
