"Endeavour" follows the newly forged relationship -- both working and personal -- between young DC Endeavour Morse and his senior partner, DI Fred Thursday. Returning actors include Shaun Evans as Endeavour and Roger Allam as Thursday, while Sean Rigby takes on the role of a young PC Strange -- the character who appeared in the original "Morse" series, played by James Grout. Abigail Thaw, the daughter of the first Inspector Morse, John Thaw, makes further guest appearances as Dorothea Frazil.

Endeavour will have run for nine by the time it's finished, and owes its longevity to the crumpled, poetic humanity Evans brings to a detective millions have gotten to know but have only begun to fully appreciate. Go to Full Review

Win's furious gurning was scarier than anything in that house. They should have given us two hours of that. Go to Full Review

The Morse prequel, Endeavour, is now set in the 1970s and while it's beloved by many I wish they'd spend less time on the mise-en-scene -- flares, Chopper bikes -- and more on the plot. Go to Full Review

Edward L @Glyndower Dec 24 After the ludicrous Season 7 this is a return to form, although the romance between Strange and Joan Thursday is rather unbelievable. Joan and Morse are much more compatible but his history is already written so it is not possible to develop their relationship. See more Shirley C @RT41909739 05/31/2023 I can't get enough of Endeavor. Will hate it when it ends. Entertaining, excellent acting, profoundly written and executed, this Sunday night (can't wait for the next episode) hour and a half of pleasure watching for my husband and me make us realize how much better the Brits know how to present a good and memorable show that meets the needs of the viewers. Season nine is soon to come and I can't say enough how sad we will be when it ends, although we know it must. Shawn Evans can't be the older Morse and that series in itself could never be redone. See more Fyrst S @Fyrst 03/13/2023 Well written, well acted, amazing early 70s period piece. See more Andrew B L @RT87469854 01/21/2023 Endeavor's writing and plot lines (holes) have been getting progressively worse, culminating in a terrible 8th season. Wholely unrealistic. I'll skip series 9. Some series should accept the inevitable and quit while they're ahead, perhaps at season 2 or 3 while they're at the top of their game. So disappointing. Clearly the actors, who are fine, struggled mightily. See more Andrew S @RT49353263 01/19/2023 This season seemed a little sub-par compared to the rest. Felt a little cheap, like they had a smaller budget or something. The writing wasn't as tight and the stories were not very intense or engaging. The actors didn't really get to shine. Not bad, just not as great as normal. See more 08/09/2022 I think it is one of the best series that exists. Every year has been carefully designed to recreate the time where it is set.
