Perhaps it bridges Endeavour and Morse, though - after all, young Morse isn't above a little combat. It did make mistakes, but the essentials are still there - romantic loner Morse, Morse-and-Lewis, Morse the anti-authority maverick, Morse the classicist....All that is there. Morse and Lewis clicked as a pair, even in that episode. So did Cumberbatch and Freeman. The real question here is whether Walliams and Raine have chemistry but they're holding it at arm's length - trying to portray an unhappy marriage - or if there really is nothing. I'm not sure which it is, yet.<br /><br />But I've been surprised before - Father Brown has become unexpectedly good - in its *third season.* The question now is just whether Tommy and Tuppence can either get really good in time to be renewed.Hannah Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529410255089707007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918467087072199038.post-46436260865800963552015-07-28T22:25:54.975-04:002015-07-28T22:25:54.975-04:00Several years ago, I went back through all the epi...Several years ago, I went back through all the episodes of <i>Morse</i>, starting with the first, and that didn't exactly hit the ground running. It took time for for everything to gel properly. My word! They even tried to show Morse in a few action sequences, like those scenes were he donned an all-black cat burglar outfit and they pretended to have him scale a tall fence and make his way up to a top-floor flat. It was less than convincing. So I'm perfectly prepared to give <i>Partners in Crime</i> a chance. I want it to work. I have every confidence that once Tommy DOES read his book on apiary husbandry, everything will fall into place.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277966379512526469noreply@blogger.com
