Lewis! Morse without Morse, but it works!
Last night (9pm ITV1) was the start of Lewis, which is Morse by any other name. The producers had to find a way to carry on after the death of the great John Thaw, and promoting lewis and giving him a lewis of his own was a good idea. The Oxford settings remain, although the classic car has gone. To keep the pseudo-intellectual element, Lewis’s Lewis (Hathaway) has been given an erudition that Morse would have been proud of, last night demonstrating his knowledge of ancient Greek myths.
SPOILER ALERT…
The story was an interesting blend of murder, without a murderer - which was an intriguing twist on most detective stories. Morse fell for the ladies occasionally, and Lewis leaves the case knowing surely, that although the girl didn’t take revenge herself, she arranged the situation. In his book she had done nothing wrong - we have a more amoral detective than Morse, but still a great modern potboiler
