Possibly better than the Morse series - Rating: 5/5

A big fan of the Morse mysteries, both videos and books, I was really pleased when the Inspector Lewis series began and I hope there will be more. Who knew Lewis had so much personality? Totally enjoyable. And his partner Hathaway has some depth, too. A terrifically entertaining series.

Excellent follow-up to Inspector Morse - Rating: 5/5

I have just seen the pilot and three episodes of "Inspector Lewis", which I assume comprise this DVD, on my local PBS station and am already considering buying the DVD. Like so many, I was a huge "Morse" fan and have been surprised and delighted at the wonderful job that has been done in developing the "Lewis" sequel. The development of the aging Lewis is compelling and believable; the relationship with his new, younger partner, Hathaway, promises to be as rich as that of Lewis and Morse. It's not that often that a "spinoff" or follow-up is as good as "Inspector Lewis" promises to be. I only hope that there are more to come.
