Each story is complex and intriguing and Detectives Robbie Lewis and James Hathaway are a formidable partnership much loved by viewers.”

#WHEN WILL INSPECTOR LEWIS SEASON 8 EPISODE 2 AIR ONLINE SERIES#
“We are delighted that Kevin and Laurence are returning for a ninth series of Lewis,” said ITV Director of Drama Steve November. Soon the bodies begin to pile up as Lewis copes with a very bright assistant and a female boss who plainly doesnt have much respect for him. With forensic pathologist Laura Hobson ( Clare Holman ) contemplating early retirement, and the new boss piling on the pressure, will Lewis finally decide to call time on his policing career? Meanwhile, after years of avoiding the thorny issue of family ties, Hathaway (Laurence Fox) is forced to confront his past. Inspector Lewis returns to Oxford from a two-year attachment overseas and is immediately embroiled in the murder of an American student. The arrival of a new Chief Superintendent heralds a fresh dawn for Oxfordshire Police, although the high flyer soon clashes with Lewis over the latter’s more traditional approach to detective work. Per the official press release, here are the basics of what we can expect from the new season. So, for us, this newly greenlit ninth season will be Season 8 for us, but we haven’t missed anything to this point.) (Americans, don’t worry – we label the Lewis seasons differently here in the States, due to two of them being combined when they aired at one point several years back. Angela Griffin will also be back as DS Lizzie Maddox. Endeavour Season 6 premieres on PBS Masterpiece Mystery in June, 2019. It’s been rather dramatic, so it’s nice to have official confirmation that fans will definitely see the show again. Russell Lewis fills us in on the upcoming sixth season of the British crime drama.

Stars Kevin Whateley and Laurence Fox are both set to return, despite the fact that the future of the show has seemed somewhat up in the air in recent years, as the drama sort of wrapped up its run back in 2013, before returning for a surprise eighth season in 2014. The popular mystery series’ ninth season will be comprised of six episodes, which will retain the one-hour format first used in Season 7. I've just started Inspector Manara, an Italian series and I'm still on the fence with this one.ĭon't forget Life on Mars, a time travel story line.Īnd for a strange American/British series with a comedy theme there's always Keen Eddie.Kevin Whatley and Laurence Fox in "Inspector Lewis" (Photo: Courtesy of (C) ITV Studios for MASTERPIECE) The Worricker Trilogy is another I wish they'd made more of. So is Comrade Detective a Russian series.Ĭolonel March of Scotland Yard is an old series with Boris Karloff in the lead. (They didn't).Ĭity of Vice is 17th century drama around the start of the Fieldings who were the foundation of Scotland Yard. It's one I would dearly love to see another dozen shows to have followed. Heat of the Sun was one of the very best Masterpiece Theater productions. Prime Witness with Helen Mirrin is very good. Inspector Lewis is better than the Midsomer or Brokenwood series. The first is easier to find, but I prefer the second.Ĭracker is harder to like, but better than most. Wallander is good, but there you have to choose between a couple very different actors, Kenneth Branaugh or Krister Henriksson. The Swedish ones, not the toned down, too pretty, and bland, mass market one. If you haven't seen it get a copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the sequels. Smiley's People and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

To me Alec Guiness as George Smiley is the gold standard. Im sure there's more I can't recall at the moment Adequate, but I just can't be moved to care about Douglas Henshall's earnest single-dad, protector of the community angst)Īnd then the rest like Rebus or the Derek Jacobi, I find these too dated Hinterland (Im not a huge fan but this will suffice when I have nothing else) Takes itself a bit too seriously for my taste Unforgotten (I really dislike Nicola Walker in this. Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie - Marple or Poirot, Death in Paradise = all the "cosy" mysteries that are easy to figure out but decent comfort food Now an inspector, he returns to Oxford and finds himself teamed. Happy Valley is great (and really, ANYTHING written by Sally Wainwright! See also Last Tango in Halifax, Gentleman Jack, and Scott and Bailey.) Lewis is back after the death of his long-time police partner Morse. Vera is wonderful and could be included at the top of this list Lewis was a great series continuation of Morse, and now Endeavor is doing ok, (although the storyline in recent seasons is deteriorating IMO) Prime Suspect and Inspector Morse are the gold standards. Airs Sundays, August 7 - 21, 2016 at 9 p.m. I will start with the better and go down the list from there: People here are listing shows as if they are all of equal quality! )
