Endeavour

“British detective show, Endeavour chronicles police investigations of criminal activity in Oxford, England, as well as the relationship between Endeavour Morse, a brilliant, rogue young detective, and his gruff but avuncular mentor, Fred Thursday. The crimes they solve fit somewhere between Law & Order and Scooby Doo, but the show's real gift lies in the continuous and often surprising evolution of Morse and Thursday's personal and professional relationship: sometimes affable, sometimes fractured, and always deeply human. Across nine seasons, the writing is erudite and the acting strong. Note: The show is a prequel to the highly regarded Inspector Morse series, which ran from 1987-2000.”
