From the late 80s to the early 2000s, ITV aired a popular British mystery series called Inspector Morse. Starring renowned British actor John Thaw as the titular character, Inspector Morse follows the investigations and cases of Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Endeavour Morse from his home base in the city of Oxford, UK.

With a love for classical music, literature, and beer, Morse is a complex and intriguing character that viewers can't help but root for. Alongside him is his loyal and dependable Sergeant Lewis played by Kevin Whately. Together, the duo tackles some of the most puzzling and complicated cases that Oxford has to offer.

Each episode of Inspector Morse is approximately 100 minutes long and is packed with drama, suspense, and unexpected twists and turns. While the series may come off as slow-paced and methodical, it has an undeniable charm that keeps audiences guessing until the very end.

Aside from the captivating storytelling, Inspector Morse is also known for its stunning visuals and picturesque filming locations in and around Oxford. Fans of the show can expect to see some of the most iconic landmarks in the city, such as the magnificent university buildings, medieval churches, and impressive bridges.

What sets Inspector Morse apart from other crime shows is its use of intelligence and wit to solve crimes. Instead of relying on car chases, explosions, and shootouts, Morse and Lewis use their brains and intuition to crack cases. They often find clues in the smallest, most insignificant details and are not afraid to think outside the box.

While the show is known for its standout performances by Thaw and Whately, the supporting cast is also noteworthy. Actors like James Grout, playing the loyal and dependable Chief Superintendent Strange, have solid performances that keep the scenes moving forward.

Though some may find the show's format a bit formulaic, it's the brilliant performances of the cast that keep things interesting. Morse's witty one-liners and Lewis's dry sense of humor add a lighter tone to the otherwise intense and grim situations they find themselves in.

Overall, Inspector Morse is a classic crime series that has stood the test of time. With its intelligent storytelling, picturesque cinematography, and standout performances, it's no wonder why the show has garnered a loyal following of fans for over 30 years.

Inspector Morse is a series that ran for 8 seasons (33 episodes) between January 6, 1987 and on ITV
