Blu-ray Review – Endeavour: Series 1

I wasn't familiar with the character of Inspector Morse when I reviewed
the pilot for the prequel series "Endeavour" a few months ago. Perhaps
this was for the best, as I didn't cling to any expectations when it
came time to understand how the detective should be played. After years
as a literary series (from author Colin Dexter) and a longstanding ITV
program, it makes sense to return a little youth to the dramatic
equation, allowing all idiosyncrasies and mysteries a cleansing reboot
with "Endeavour," a show that convincingly refreshes the franchise.
Playing nostalgic with its sixties setting and submitting powerful work
from stars Shaun Evans and Roger Allam, the effort is rich with mood and
stuffed with snappy whodunit attitude, sure to please those who've
invested plenty of time with the "Inspector Morse" universe. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
