So sayeth Dr. Max Debryn of the Masterpiece Mystery series Endeavour. Endeavour is a mystery series about a fledgling policeman in England. It is currently in its final season (9) and has but three 90 minute episodes. One of the main characters is Endeavour Morse, a rookie copper who is very intelligent beyond his experience. This series is actually the third of three linked series including Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis.
If you are interested in good acting, beautiful scenery and well-written episodes these three are worth the time to watch. You can find them at Amazon Prime TV on Masterpiece, BBC and/or Acorn TV. All are subscriptions, but not very expensive.
Inspector Morse is Endeavour Morse in the elderly stages of life. The Inspector Lewis series was created after the actor who played elderly Morse died and then Detective Sargent Lewis was Morse's partner.
After the Inspector Lewis ended, Endeavour was created to show us the backstory of Inspector Morse.
These are great fun to watch and try to figure out who the actual criminals were in each episode.
Since I am such a fan of British Mystery series, another I would recommend is Midsommer Murders. But buckle up, because it has been on for over 20 seasons and there are a LOT of episodes to watch. Much like the Morse and Lewis series, the acting is excellent, the scenery is beautiful and the stories are superb.
There is not a lot of blowing things up, massive car chases and gun battles in these shows. They are not action shows, but mysteries, and you have to pay close attention to follow the story lines and keep up with the characters. It is a mental exercise, but a worthwhile one.
