Endeavour

I don't enjoy this series either, most disappointing

I went to sleep in the middle. I have no idea what it was about. Loved the last series though

Mr C likes it, I catch up with my sleep .

Image that very remark to DH when we made the last episode. Misery guts indeed!

At one time the two hours flew by but now I think they could easily fit it into an hours programme, seems to be drawn out and slow.

What's happening with Trewlove? All she does is stand around now looking bored. She was one of the best characters in the last series.

Think they may be trying to metamorphose Sean Evans into the older, curmudgeonly Morse. Him picking up a girl he didn’t know just didn’t fit the character either-it sort of stuck out and jangled. Loved the Roxy and the Reginald Dixon style organist-though-wonder where it is?

Katek I thought the same about him picking up the girl. I don't think a "fast" girl would have appealed to Endeavour.
I must say I've never seen a cinema that big. But remember seeing the organist. Were the organs called wurlitzers? Must say I'm not enjoying this series as much as previous ones.

I still enjoy it, thanks to the wonderful music, acting and settings, and I think Endeavour is showing early signs of Morse's irascibility.
The fault lies with the increasingly desperate plot lines, as in Silent Witness, Vera and Shetland; what a gothic attempt at a cliff-hanger. Doesn't Dougie Henshall have any facial expressions other than mildly agonised, agonised and really agonised?

Think he may have smiled briefly at Cassie at one point easybee!

I'm finding Endeavour difficult to follow and hear, to put it mildly!!! I love it because it's Oxford where I was born and lived for the first 21 years of my life. Apart from that?!!!!! It should be good, but it sort of isn't!!

I have just watched the second episode and I thought it was absolutely awful. The ridiculous Agatha Christie style B movie plot made me lose the will to live! Hope it picks up.

You're right Greyduster, it was AWFUL!!!!

Crossroads Motel!!!!

merlot
and in King's Oak no less.

But the adult Morse was a grumpy bugger.
I do like Roger Allam.

Every time I see Anton Lesser as Superintendent Reginald Bright I get shivers down my back because from the front he looks so like my father.

Well I love it!

I thought it was a lot better last night, almost believable, and Oxford was lovely.
How sad to feel like that about your father Nm, I would love to be reminded of my S-father whom I loved dearly.

That sounds more promising. I've recorded it son look forward to seeing it.

Enjoyed last nights episode although I did watch with one eye on the iPad

Have recorded it as we were out - looking forward to seeing this episode.

I like the slow relaxed pace and lovely music. Some beautiful camera work too. Thursday reminds me of my Grampian. He had the same hat, clothes and pipe. Pipes seem to have gone out of fashion these days.

Neither of us can put our finger on why we're not particularly keen on this program. We loved Morse and last night's episode was ok once we started watching it but have to say if it wasn't for laziness we'd probably turn over.

Me, too, Jane10.
