This hit detective series portrays the early years of brooding, gifted Sergeant Endeavour Morse working in 1960s–70s Oxford and has been embraced by critics from the get-go. The Guardian (UK) describes the show as “one of the classiest vehicles in TV crime drama.” Endeavour was created by writer Russell Lewis as a prequel to the long-running Inspector Morse series.
