Review: Picturesque English Mystery Movie - I love Inspector Lewis! This follows, obviously, Inspector Lewis as he arrives back in Oxford after his wife passed away. He immediately gets thrown into a murder mystery and starts hunting down Oxford's killers. He is aided by Detective Sergeant Hathaway, a witty, intelligent cop. The scenery is gorgeous, shot all over Oxford, and there is light humor throughout all the episodes. This contains four episodes, the Pilot, Whom the Gods Would Destroy, Old School Ties and Expiation. The Pilot shows Inspector Lewis getting back into the role of Detective Inspector. A young student at Oxford gets murdered at a sleep research facility. The investigation turns to Daniel Griffon, the son of a racecar driver. As more bodies drop, Inspector Lewis has to find what links the victims and who wants them dead. Whom the Gods Would Destroy follows several members of the same Oxford class, long graduated, that start showing up dead. As Inspector Lewis digs deeper into their past, the deaths seem to have a link to a crime that happened when all the victims were in school. Old School Ties has an old criminal hacker that decides to write a book about his experiences. He goes to make a lecture at Oxford and one of the students arranging his visit shows up murdered. Inspector Lewis investigates not only the criminal but also the other students to try and figure out what happened. Expiation starts with an Oxford housewife that is hanged in her own house. When Inspector Lewis looks into the murder, he discovers not only a secret with the housewife, her husband and their best friends. He also finds a secret with the housewife's past.
Review: Really excited stories - Love this series. Brings back Morse stories.

Love this series. Brings back Morse stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Superb Series
*by E***E on February 2, 2016*

These are absolutely first-rate British crime dramas. Intelligent, well-plotted stories; spot-on quality acting by people who look like real people, and not Hollywood cuties; well-developed characters and excellent chemistry between the principals. The Oxford settings are almost as good as being there in person. They follow the "Inspector Morse" series; the long-suffering Sergeant Lewis has now made it to the rank of inspector, and he has scars from his own tragic backstory. He treats his sergeant (a fascinating and complex character in his own right) better than he himself was treated by Morse. What makes this series even better than the earlier one is that there are subtitles for us Americans who may be hard of hearing and a bit unfamiliar with the "received pronunciation" of the toffs and profs and the dialect of the humbler folk. For years I rented the disks from Netlix and decided that I want them for my own. I'm watching the earlier ones for the third time now, and they have not lost their sparkle.
