Endeavour 4.04: “Harvest” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

September 11, 2017

Five years before this episode takes place, a car headed toward the country village of Bramford was forced off the road by a military vehicle barreling toward it. The truck didn’t slow down. The car wound up in a ditch, and there was no sign of life from its occupants—a professorial-looking fellow and the scruffy…

Endeavour 4.03: “Lazaretto” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

September 4, 2017

In the Fosdick ward at Cowley General Hospital, the beds are numbered 1 through 10. They look alike, but Bed 10 is different from the others. People die in Bed 10. In fact, the hospital staff is tying on a toe tag and carting an unfortunate patient away as this episode opens. “Bed 10’s unlucky,”…

Endeavour 4.02: “Canticle” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

August 28, 2017

“I can’t figure you out,” a 20-something character says to Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans). “You know that there’s something happening, right? Here, in the world, everywhere. People our age looking for answers. But you … are in a suit.” “I’m happy in a suit,” Morse replies, buttoning his jacket. Love is all around, as The…

Endeavour 4.01: “Game” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

August 21, 2017

A swimming pool, Joan Thursday leaving home, a welder in a pumping station, Holy Communion, a mainframe computer, a concert, preparations for a chess match, a crime writer reading his latest novel at a bookstore—a flood of disparate images that will coalesce given time… Endeavour is back.  And “flood” is the right word for the…

Endeavour 3.04: “Coda” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

July 11, 2016

At the gangster’s funeral, police officers and journalists are tucked none too discreetly behind trees and tombstones—but not Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans). He’s off taking his sergeant’s exam, as he promised his boss Fred Thursday (Roger Allam) he would. And, ever the smarty pants, he finishes so quickly that he has time to do the…

Endeavour 3.03: “Prey” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

July 4, 2016

Bach’s “Mass in B Minor” wafts through our speakers as the montage begins. A blond woman; a hedge maze; a dark-haired woman pushing a baby carriage; an au pair who seems suspiciously attentive to the father of her charges; a woman in a hospital bed connected to life-support; a scientist in a lab; a tent…

Endeavour: 3.02 “Arcadia” Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

June 27, 2016

An artist named Simon Hallward is sleeping peacefully in his flat when the clock strikes 5 a.m. and the place goes up in flames. Accidental or deliberate? You can guess what our friend Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) thinks. His suspicion is enough to convince D.I. Fred Thursday (Roger Allam) that Hallward might have been done…

Endeavour 3.01: “Ride” Episode Review

By Leslie Gilbert Elman

June 20, 2016

When we last saw our hero Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) in Series 2, Episode 4, “Neverland,” things did not end well. His boss and mentor, D.I. Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), was critically injured and Morse had been put in prison. That sort of experience will change a man. It certainly changed Morse. He’s since been released,…
