StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
lottiejam Started so well, but increasingly ridiculous plots. I'm used to that from Midsomer Murders and would be worried if it suddenly got serious. The Morse heritage however suggests complexity and depth. Wonderful actors and obvious hard work from everyone involved to create atmosphere and authenticity. The character development doesn't always ring true however and the red herrings far too obvious and conclusions rather daft.
l-hinton-529-623116 Spent the whole last episode - Icarus - thinking definite shades of Unwin, Wittering and Zigo and then read it was definitely an influence. Also very "If........"
brianhatton-44010 Brilliant series, but the latest episode (passenger) has a massive glaring mistake. At the end of the programme we hear on the radio that Kennedy has been shot, which dates the episode to November 1963. Firstly, Britain was never that sunny and warm in any November, and British Rail most certainly did not have any blue coloured diesel engines - these did not appear until 1971-2 onwards.
davidbjones I have been an avid reader of British Crime fiction for most of my adult life, but my love of British Crime Drama came from watching John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in the 'Sweeney' while I was in my teens. We didn't always get UK TV shows in a timely manner in Australia in the 1980's, but I seem to remember the first Inspector Morse telemovie within a a year of the UK. While I was probably drawn to it because I remembered John Thaw from the 'Sweeney', I had grown up and I enjoyed the more cerebral story lines and it quickly became my favourite television program that was eagerly anticipated each year. I was also lucky enough to be able to visit Oxford several times before the series ended.In 2007, I was living in the UK when the first series of Lewis was repeated following quickly after the first run of the second series.I also enjoyed Lewis, because of complexity of the characters (such as Lewis, Hathaway, Dr Hobson and Chief Superintendent Innocent) and their relationships.So it was some surprise that I unexpectedly discovered Endeavour by pure accident less than a week ago on Free to Air in Australia. The first episode I saw was Episode 1 of Season 3 and I was spellbound by the characters and their development through this pivotal and complex episode. I quickly felt that approach to the development and personal growth of Morse is faithful to the original and the other key cast members help to demonstrate how Morse grow emotionally and intellectually during these formative years.In the following days, I have now been able to see episodes 3 and 4 of Season 2 and now also episode 2 of Season 3. I have really enjoyed the roles played by many of the main cast, but particularly Roger Allam and Anton Lesser. As an avid listener of BBC Radio Comedies and Dramas, Anton Lesser and Roger Allam were familiar to me, but I do not remember ever having seen each in a major TV drama series.I am now hooked and cannot wait to be able to see all the back episodes and the future ones. I also really enjoy the music, especially keeping the ending theme the same!.
