Anybody enjoy "Lewis" on Britbox

It's finally on Britbox. I've seen all the Inspector Morse, but only a few Endevour on PBS.

I prefer the Lewis character to even Morse.

I don't feel he has chemistry with the Dr, though I enjoy her character immensely.

Dalziel & Pascoe are also a good detective duo. That's on Britbox, too

I think British drama and mystery is so much better because they don't use guns. It takes a lot more ratchiweenie Aug 2023 #17

Yup, that's my thinkin' as well. Magoo48 Aug 2023 #18

but then I plan to watch Lewis.

As an aside, I think the theme song to Morse by Barrington Pheloung is absolutely beautiful.

I'm kinda ignorant on tech. Do you watch it on tv or online?

Phelong also composed the Lewis theme

I'm using. I rotate through channels. Watch what I am interested in on one, and then cancel that and move to another. I find if I don't do it that way, I'm paying for a lot I don't use. Only the PBS stays always.

But dang if she doesn't make "Luther" look like "Psych" sometimes

I got a B-Box sub when I saw they held the complete BBC Time-Life Shakespeare series. Speaking of Brenda Blethyn, I had forgotten she was Cordelia in "King Lear." And can't forget young Alan Rickman's Tybalt in "Romeo and Juliet."
