Masterpiece Mystery!: Endeavour Pilot & Series 1-4 Collection
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Endeavor is a must see. I love the concept of “the man before the man.” However, you don’t need to be a devotee of Inspector Morse or Inspector Lewis to be captivated by Endeavor. Shaun Evans is masterful as Morse. (I love learning how Morse earned his limp.) Roger Allam as DI Thursday is exceptional. Anton Lesser’s Chief Superintendent Bright is brilliant. Endeavor must do Colin Dexter (original novels) proud. Although publicly stating he would not appear in Endeavor as he did in Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis, there is at least one “Dexter Spotting.” Also I have to give a nod to the absolutely beautiful cars. Morse’s (John Thaw’s) 1960 burgundy Jaguar Mk II is very much his signature in the original series. Very appropriately DI Thursday has a 1959 black Jaguar Mk I. Also there are appearances by an Alvis TD21, a Hillman Minx, several Rover saloons, among many others. Endeavor is a magnificent series.- Marilyn G
I hesitate a little bit to admit this but…I’m not the biggest fan of Sherlock. There. It’s out! I did, however, LOVE Endeavour. To me, it is everything that Sherlock should have been. Personally, I find Sherlock to be all smoke and games and incredibly predictable. Several of these episodes had me guessing until the very end and even those that didn’t weren’t so obnoxious as Sherlock often is. It is extremely well cast and acted, has a pleasant soundtrack, and seems to be very true-to-the-times.
Warning – Even though it is better than Sherlock, there are still a few scenes/scenarios that are completely preposterous. The most egregious of these scenes is, unfortunately, a season-ending so I won’t spoil it for you here but just be warned. 🙂 Also, there is some language, sex references, etc. that might not be appropriate for younger viewers so make sure to preview before sharing with your family. 🙂
