Endeavour	comment	Endeavour (2012-2023) is the second spinoff series of Inspector Morse, after Lewis, and chronologically, the first instalment in the Morseverse. A prequel set in the 60s, it relates the early cases of the young Detective Constable Morse, starting with his arrival at Oxford CID.The central characters are Morse (Shaun Evans), the brilliant—if at times intolerable— detective in training; DI Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), his salty, quick-fisted mentor; and Reginald Bright (Anton Lesser), the Superintendant. Younger versions of Morse's pathologist Max and Chief Superintendent Strange (who begins this series as a uniformed constable) also appear.The title refers to Morse's first name. Despite this, it's as rarely used as it is in the original series.All episodes are written by Russell Lewis, who had previously written some of the episodes for Lewis.Broadcast on ITV in Britain, with frequent repeats on ITV3. Airs in the United States as part of PBS' Masterpiece Mystery.It ended in 2023, with its ninth and final series.

Endeavour / int_1042bae6	comment	Limited Advancement Opportunities: Series 4 reveals that Morse's constantly exposing corrupt coppers has made him unknown enemies within the powers that be, who arranged it so his Sergeant Exam paper went "missing" so he'd automatically failed. Bright advises Morse to actually leave Oxford and go somewhere else.

Endeavour / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Endeavour / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: "Canticle" has several. Joy Pettybon is clearly intended to recall real-life moral crusader Mary Whitehouse, with particular reference to an occasion where she sued a magazine into bankruptcy and got its editor jailed for printing an article that depicted Jesus Christ as a homosexual. Chat show presenter Julian Calendar looks, dresses, and acts like 1960s TV presenter Simon Dee. He shows up again in "Quartet" as the presenter of the UK heat of Jeux sans FrontiÃ¨res. While the "Wildwood" are most clearly an analogue of the pre-British Invasion Beatles, the lead member, Nick Wilding is closely based on Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Like Barrett, Nick was a founding member of his group and drew inspiration from eclectic/highbrow literary sources. Also like Barrett, Nick becomes increasingly alienated from his band due to LSD usage and ends up as an Addled Addict following a "bad trip". "Colours" references the real-life occasion when Malcolm X spoke at the Oxford Union; here, his place is taken by one Marcus X. His opponent, Charity Mudford, evokes Unity Mitford. "Apollo" features Jeff and Hildegard Slayton, who make puppet shows in an identical manner to the real-world Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, creators of Thunderbirds and other shows.

Halfway through the following series it turns into Commuting on a Bus, and she starts appearing again. Joan does not make any appearance in Series 7 with an explanation that she is working outside Oxford. This was due to her actress, Sara Vickers, having a baby during the filming period. In Series 8, she's back.

Endeavour / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Endeavour / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Series 1-2 had antagonism between Morse and Jakes, Bright as a much more corrupt and unsympathetic character, before he Took a Level in Kindness and became Da Chief in series 3 onward, as well as heavy themes of police corruption which came to a head in the very dark series 2 finale, "Neverland". Series 6 returns to this after the much lighter tone of series 3-5 following the the Downer Ending of the series 5 finale. This series shows the results of the closure of the Cowley station and merger into Thames Valley Police, with Bright Kicked Upstairs to the traffic division and feeling humiliated as a result, Morse initially demoted back to uniform work on the very edges of Oxford (at least until the ending of the first episode, "Pylon", where he is restored to his previous position), Thursday demoted to DI and answering to the sweeney-like DCI Ronnie Box and DS Alan Jago who abuse their authority and mistreat suspects and other officers, and being drawn into their more brutal and corrupt way of policing, as well as having his wife be frosty with and grow away from him due to the events of the series 5 finale, a growing rift between Thursday and Morse due to Morse's constant clashes with Box and Jago, Strange on a quest to find out and exact revenge on Fancy's killer and a frosty relationship between Morse and Joan due to Joan turning down his offer for coffee at the end of the previous series.

As with Cranmer House, severe structural deficiencies contributed to the diaster.

Endeavour / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Cyril Morse (Alan Williams, incidentally a dead ringer for John Thaw). He's not exactly a people person, either. He never liked coppers — as he blithely admits to his son, who's a Detective Constable! Morse's stepmother, Gwen, has always treated him as an interloper and basically kicked him out of the house. We do learn that he took his son out shooting, and while this is probably not how lil' Endeavour wanted to spend his afternoons, he is nevertheless an expert shot. So the gist of it is that Cyril's personality (cold and exacting) rubbed off on Morse.

Endeavour / int_1f799027	comment	Bright, of all people, goes from an Obstructive Bureaucrat with Sleazy Politician tendencies in the first two series to a much more sympathetic character in Series 3. As penance for railroading Morse in the 'Who Shot Thursday?' case, he exposes himself to serious danger while protecting his subordinates in "Prey" and "Coda." It is also revealed he personally watched over Thursday in hospital after the events of "Neverland", to protect him from the corrupt coppers trying to finish the job. This probably has something to do with the actor, Anton Lesser, striking gold with Game of Thrones and needing to be enticed back to his (rather thankless) old role.

Endeavour / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: In "Neverland", it's Chekhov's Scarf. Monica's gift for Morse is stolen and used as a murder weapon in an attempt to frame him. In "Game", it's Chekhov's Computer. The original purpose of the JCN computer was to run a postal address database. Later in the episode Morse and Thursday need to locate an address, and find that the computer can look it up in mere hours, as opposed to the days a manual search would take. In "Colours", it's Chekhov's (literal) Minefield. In "Pylon", it's Chekhov's Public Information Film. Yes, Bright's publicising of Pelican crossings has more to it than showing that he's been posted to the Traffic division. It turns out that the little girl whose body Morse finds in the field wasn't murdered; she was run over while crossing the road. Later, Bright is being followed by villains who wish to do him harm, but he's saved by a crowd of his young fans who've seen the film and want his autograph. Since the villains can't hurt him in front of witnesses, they back off. In "Confection, it is an actual gun. Of sorts. The bolt-gun used to put the horse down is later stolen and used to kill Murray Cresswell.

In the book version of "Last Seen Wearing", Morse is assigned the case after the death of Inspector Ainley in a traffic accident.

At the end of the episode, after having figured out she wasn't the killer, Morse comes across one photograph which was unscathed, and reveals the daughter had Down Syndrome, indicating that far from being an Ax-Crazy monster, she was a disabled person who suffered horribly due to Victorian mores and her jerkass father.

Endeavour / int_3dcc914f	comment	Took a Level in Kindness: Morse began the series as a bit of an arsehole. His personal growth is complete in "Arcadia": Rather than spoil DS Jakes's farewell party with his dour presence, he gift-wraps some savings bonds as a present to the soon-to-be Mrs. Jakes. Jakes starts out appearing to be an all around Jerkass and stereotypical Old-Fashioned Copper. However, he starts to become somewhat more likable throughout series 2, culminating in the reveal of his horrendously abusive childhood. He then parts with Morse on friendly terms early in Series 3. Bright, of all people, goes from an Obstructive Bureaucrat with Sleazy Politician tendencies in the first two series to a much more sympathetic character in Series 3. As penance for railroading Morse in the 'Who Shot Thursday?' case, he exposes himself to serious danger while protecting his subordinates in "Prey" and "Coda." It is also revealed he personally watched over Thursday in hospital after the events of "Neverland", to protect him from the corrupt coppers trying to finish the job. This probably has something to do with the actor, Anton Lesser, striking gold with Game of Thrones and needing to be enticed back to his (rather thankless) old role.

The other major arc of the series, the impending closure of the Cowley station, where all the main characters have been based up to this point, also comes to a downbeat close with all of them being sent to separate positions around Oxford and some being demoted. Trewlove, while grieving for Fancy, departs for Scotland Yard and leaves the series. To top it all off, Thursday's retirement plans are shattered when his brother Charlie loses the money that Thursday lent him to criminals using his shipping business as a front for fraud, leaving Thursday with a much longer career than he'd hoped, as well as leaving him looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life worried that his name on the cheque he'd given to Charlie could be traced back to him and lead to his arrest for involvement in fraudulent activities. The only bright spot seems to be Morse finally making a move and asking Joan out for coffee, only for the next series to reveal that even this ended badly and she refused, leaving the pair frosty with each other. Overall this sets the tone for the much Darker and Edgier series 6.

Also counts as Earn Your Happy Ending, considering what we found out about him in "Neverland". Monica, after being a recurring character and potential love interest for Morse (even if any relationship would have been Doomed by Canon) throughout Series 2, is Demoted to Extra for the first two episodes of Series 3, and then dropped altogether after that. She comes back for a brief appearance in "Lazaretto," which mostly just serves to close the book on her character. After the events of the bank robbery in "Coda", Joan Thursday suffers a Heroic BSoD and quietly leaves Oxford, asking Morse (and her parents via a letter) not to try tracking her down. Halfway through the following series it turns into Commuting on a Bus, and she starts appearing again. Joan does not make any appearance in Series 7 with an explanation that she is working outside Oxford. This was due to her actress, Sara Vickers, having a baby during the filming period. In Series 8, she's back.

A shot of Morse in what looked like an Italian police interview room, shown as a teaser at the start of the series, was also shown at the end but not expanded on. In Series Eight, these events are barely mentioned, with the same going for the plan to have Morse transferred to work with McNutt, the officer stated to have been his mentor in the original series but who has not been seen in this one.

Endeavour, which is initially set in 1965, follows the TV chronology, so its setting is 20+ years before the original series, not five.

Given that Morse is hardly ever addressed by his (hated) first name, this is perhaps just as well. In "Ride", it tips off Morse that Joss Bixby has been replaced by his twin, as the imposter does not copy the real Joss Bixby's verbal tic ("Old man").

Series 4 reveals that the Powers That Be aren't happy with Morse's constantly exposing corrupt coppers and are effectively blackballing him to make sure he stays a constable, going so far as to nick his Sergeant Exam so he'll automatically fail. Ronnie Box in the fifth and six series, although it turns out that the Big Bad is actually his sergeant, Alan Jago. Shockingly, Fred Thursday takes a bung from Ronnie Box, although he later gives him the money back. Jim Strange is an interesting case.

In the Inspector Morse episode "Masonic Mysteries", Morse visits Desmond McNutt, a retired police officer who is introduced as having been Morse's mentor. In Endeavour, however, the mentor role is very much filled by Fred Thursday, with McNutt getting a few mentions in passing (in "Neverland", Thursday suggests that if he retires, DI McNutt could take Morse under his wing; later, in "Zenana", Morse and Thurday's public falling-out leads them to agree that things will be best if Morse transfers to be McNutt's bagman) but never being seen. In "Oracle", the Thursdays are shown to have a cat ... which was not mentioned before, and hasn't been mentioned since. In Series 8, Bright has seemingly lost the war medal ribbons on his uniform, and appears to have been awarded the OBE. In the Series 8 episode "Striker", Thursday asks Morse if he's into football. Had he recalled the events of "Nocturne" in Series 2 (set five years previously, during the 1966 World Cup), he'd've known that Morse neither knows nor cares about football.

There's also the Broom matriarch, Nora, returning from "exile" (like Eleanor of Aquitaine); the death of Harry, the favored son and heir, causing a Succession Crisis for the family; a proposed merger with the French; and an I Know You Know I Know line that can be seen as a Shout-Out to Geoffrey's famous one in The Lion in Winter. Finally, there is Broom's secretary, Alice, who appears to be a shoutout to Henry's lover Alais in Lion - Nora implies rather spitefully that Broom only hired her for her attractiveness, and Alice is clearly very fond of her boss. Ultimately, this is subverted though, with Alice instead showing interest in Morse, who is an old friend. Even the last name is a reference: "Plantagenet" comes from planta genista, the medieval word for the broom flower. The plot of "Ride" is fairly transparently a reference to both The Great Gatsby and The Prestige.

Endeavour / int_eb8e4fa8	type	Jerkass
Endeavour / int_eb8e4fa8	comment	Jakes starts out appearing to be an all around Jerkass and stereotypical Old-Fashioned Copper. However, he starts to become somewhat more likable throughout series 2, culminating in the reveal of his horrendously abusive childhood. He then parts with Morse on friendly terms early in Series 3.

Endeavour / int_ec200a54	comment	Steam Never Dies: "Passenger" still has steam-hauled trains on the branch lines around Oxford in June 1968. It's theoretically possible (steam wasn't fully banned until August 1968) but unlikely since the Western Region had officially moved completely to diesels by 1966.

Morse is briefly this to Thursday, but his inexperience and Bright's criticism of the arrangement (a bag man should be a Detective Sergeant, not a Detective Constable) mean he's sent back to General Duties; Jakes takes on this role, to be replaced by Strange when he leaves. Eventually, the role becomes Morse's again.

Naturally, several aspects of the 'suicide' don't add up to Morse. Played for comedy in "Cartouche", when the manager of a cinema is poisoning the local pigeons, and then throwing the corpses off the roof. One of them lands on the bonnet of Thursday's police car, occasioning blank looks from both Thursday and Morse.
