Endeavour fans AIBU to ask for your opinion...

[PerverseConverse]

... on what other shows I can watch once I've finished binge watching Endeavour? I've just discovered the show and am loving it. Loved Morse, loved Lewis. What else will I probably like? Thanks

Graphista yy the Mentalist, love this show as well also slightly swoon over Simon Baker, hope you feel a bit better soon💐

I've not seen it for ages but watched all the original screenings. Where are you watching it?

Just wanted to say I've started the Unforgotten on the strength of this thread and it's brilliant! Love Endeavour, Lewis, Vera etc too. Thanks for this thread

Ooh Datsun enjoy tis a brilliant series & acting is very good.
Graphista I think it’s been on one of channel 5 free view channel have seen some of the episodes fairly recently.

Ugh unfortunately I can only get 5 & catchup (long story) I can't get 5usa or 5 star live

Aww Graphista that’s a shame.

It's a pain but been trying to sort for ages to no avail

I'm thrilled the new series starts on Sunday but agree the moustache looks a bit dodgy. Sean Evans is wonderful though. I still think Foyle's War is slightly better. (have been in love with Michael Kitchen for nearly 40 years) .

OP if you think the way they call women birds is bad, last week I watched some episodes of The Professionals from the late 1970s (was off work). I couldn't get over how sexist it was; I remember watching it when it was first shown and we didn't bat an eyelid in those days! How things have changed I'm pleased to say.

Haha yes it's very odd watching very old programmes (although I'm afraid they don't seem old to me until I realise they're 20/30 years older than dd who turns bloody 18 this month!)

Much sexism, racism, bigotry...

I was watching an episode of Taggart a few weeks back and it was the episode featuring Caroline Paterson (played mark fowlers wife Ruth in eastenders) as a cops wife who was also a victim of dv.

Now Jim Taggart didn't condone the now ex husbands actions overtly and apparently they'd once been close friends and he'd cut him off as a result BUT he still wasn't really supportive of the wife, I think at one point he said something along lines of "well you know better than to wind him up!" Really shocking! And yet I don't remember it as being shocking back when I would have watched it in the 80's.

Also an awful lot of anti Irish particularly Irish Catholic rhetoric in the show which I also didn't remember - and I'm from a family of Catholic scots of Irish descent who LOVED the show! So weird!

I know there are certain shows I adored at the time that now even if heavily edited they just could not broadcast. Mind your language was one, mixed blessings another and my parents fondly remember "love thy neighbour" yet they and I have many friends and now even family (mainly through marrying in) who are of various different religions/races/nationalities.

I'm embarrassed now that i enjoyed such programmes. I wouldn't now and would feel extremely uncomfortable watching.

Thanks for this thread, OP, I've picked up some good suggestions.

DCI Banks is good if you can get over Stephen Tompkinson not being as described in the books.
@lazyarse123 Really? I haven't dared try it as he's so not what I imagine.

Agree about Michael Kitchen, he has a wonderful understated pace in Foyle.

ribblerobble Dci Banks, is really good. I am reading a more recent book atm and it's quite easy to imagine Stephen Tompkinson in my head as there aren't any physical descriptions. Not sure if that makes me weird.

I’ve watched everything mentioned!!! I was hoping for something new. Seriously need to curb my murder addiction

Adore Endeavour too. The other day, I watched an old episode on the tv player at lunchtime. That evening, the same episode was being shown on the tv and I actually watched it all over again! The plot was a little complicated (missing person + murder + robbery) so I wanted to see it again to understand it better. Also most enjoyable was rewatching the scene in the college where the obnoxious, condescending academic was taken down a few pegs by young Morse with his superior knowledge. Not sure about the new look Morse with the tache!

That episode is Trove. Connects in to the episode of Morse and the Wolvercote tongue which is nice. I've watched that one twice too 😊

Just about to start watching the new episode (was recording) 😊

The 'tache needs to go.

I like the moooostash! I think it suits the time well.

Am a bit meh about the tash (maybe because I know it will go at some point) but I want to punch the new boss!

I've obviously missed something- why is Bright doing public info films? Enjoying it though.

"State of Play" was a huge let down at the end , it was billed as a tense political thriller , I binge watched it one day but it promised loads , delivered meh .
Good few hours of my life I;m not getting back.

I really want to re watch "Between The Lines" that was brilliant but probably quite dated now .

I think the public info film was to show he’s been bumped down to traffic

That was brilliant. Great start to the new series.

I've just found this thread. I haven't really got into Endeavour yet, but I love Lewis, I do hope there's a new series. I love Foyle's War and Midsommer Murders (how did they ever manage to sell any houses there with that crime rate??) I also like Vera a lot.

I also like Law & Order UK, mainly because I love Bradley Walsh.

I confess to loving Agatha Christie Poirot and Miss Marple.

I enjoyed that! Confused re the brushes case though. Was the vicar involved?

I think the brushcase will be the ongoing theme
Who did actually kill sams mother
