Could not really get into Sherlock. Just a little too weird for me. However I am liking Investigator Morse in the Endeavour series. I wonder if Season One is available for streaming?

I just did a Roku search and only Season Two seems to be available.

Didn't care for Sherlock myself-tried watching the first one & failed to catch "Cumberbatch Fever".

Have watched every Morse twice, and enjoyed this new "prequel" of sorts.
It can be found online, albeit in some out of the way corners...

I will try to watch Endeavor because I liked the Inspector Morse series. I didn't watch Endeavor when it premiered last year because I thought I couldn't get into the show because Inspector Morse is supposedly in his 20's and it's the 1960s, I think. I will forever remember John Thaw as Inspector Morse and I loved that series so much. It was so sad that they killed off Inspector Morse on screen, and I never could understand why they did that. It shocked me seeing him on the slab with his eyes closed like that, what a terrible ending to a great show, then just two years later John Thaw died. I think he also died the same way his character did, of a heart attack.

I like Endeavour more than the Inspector Morse series. I caught onto Morse very late, and haven't really taken with his personality. Love the Inspector Lewis series, though, so I watch the Morse series for the younger Lewis.

Watching young Morse in Endeavor, though, helps a little to explain why the older Morse is the way he is. Very interesting!

Question about his amazing car -- the first series showed how he got it, but now in season 2, he's not driving it. What happened to it?

I"m enjoying Endeavor. I did enjoy Inspector Morse and I love Sherlock as well.....

BTW - I believe they killed off Inspector Morse about the same time as he (John Thaw) actually died. I think it was fitting.

If you didn't see last Sunday's episode, you missed one of the best. A blend of mystery and ghost story and really quite scary in parts.
PBS is airing several new episodes this summer on Sunday nights.

I have watched it sporadically and it is growing on me for sure. I will probably at some point try to figure which episodes I may have missed and catch them all.

S1 of Bletchley Circle is still my favorite brit mystery season of all time. (S2 was not as good but i still love those women!)
