such fun - we got hooked on Endeavour - then went back and watched all of Morse -

now we are nearly gone with Lewis. Pretty remarkable acting and story lines. The self references back and forth in each series are like easter eggs to find.

Once we are done with those - wondering where to go next? We loved Prime Suspect, Touching Evil, River, Unforgotten. Not quite as pleased with Annika.

Sargeant Hathaway to great effect, is, irl, quite the RW a'hole. He's been in the news quite a bit lately. I'm just glad he didn't show that side (at least not enough to notice) when he was on the show.

Can't say enough good things about this series

We have Acorn and Britbox, and decided to drop Acorn for a while. We finished up Doc Martin, and all the loose episodes of shows we have enjoyed. Then we decided to watch Foyle and we are so glad we did

Endeavour is on Prime
Inspector Morse is on PBS
Lewis is on Hulu.

At least I think that's right. Whatever each series is on a different streaming service.

I feel like you could watch it 20 times and not catch everything.

Also, if you don't mind subtitles, the original "The Bridge" in Swedish is AMAZING!
