British Crime Drama · ITV · 1987–2000
Crossword-loving, opera-adoring, Jaguar-driving Chief Inspector Morse remains the gold standard of British detective drama. John Thaw's prickly, melancholy genius prowls the dreaming spires of Oxford, solving intricate murders with sidekick Lewis at his side. Literate, slow-paced in the best way, and quietly moving — the feature-length cases are as much about Morse himself as the crimes he solves.
