A decade ago, in 2013, Endeavour first crossed the pond for PBS viewers on Masterpiece. The series was the third in a line of mysteries based on the Inspector Morse series of novels by Colin Dexter, initially debuting in the 1980s and was Mystery!'s first successful non-period-

Mystery
This week's Endeavour begins with an advert for The Jolly Rajah, the upcoming general election of 1970, and Stanley Nayle's (Ted Robbins) wrestling tourney. The Bombay Strangler (Harki Bhambra) fights Sloane, the Noble Brother (Graeme Stevely), as Win arrives with her pal Bridget (Flora London). The

Endeavour regularly opens with staccato clips of murder interspersed with our characters. Still, the opening of Season 7 uses it effectively, unveiling the Thursdays in Oxford while Morse is far away in Venice, while Strange runs the desk this New Year's Eve. Morse is watching opera and landing
Drama
Endeavour wraps up its sixth season with three cases that finally bring order back to the Morse-verse. Children: PELICAN MAN! PELICAN MAN! Endeavour began its sixth season with the shock of change, and I'm not just talking about Morse's mustaches. Instead of everyone transferring to
