Lewis is the tops
Ironically I never was drawn to Inspector Morse, but I immediately became a big fan of Lewis. Having visited Oxford awhile ago, it was fascinating to see the Oxford University colleges being a backdrop to a series that's expertly scripted and with outstanding performances.Curiously, we don't see Lewis and Hathaway solving crimes around Oxford Brookes University (which is a bona fide university in Oxford by the way and offers accredited degrees) or along Cowley Road or around surrounding suburbs such as the Wood Farm estate (leading to Awgar Stone Road) or Blackbird Leys. Maybe that's way too gritty for TV audiences if you know what I mean.
Maybe one day Inspector Lewis can be rebooted for maybe another season or two. It is very high caliber TV.
score 10/10
