Your summation of the feeling is just right: Like I said, I'm reminded of why I love the show - I'd really missed these familiar faces and characters. The mood of the thing remains achingly sad and nostalgic and comforting.

I felt exactly the same way you did upon opening the Endeavour portal and stepping into its world again. And it is a world all unto its own, for sure. You are spot on about the general feeling of wistfulness that hangs heavy over the series. <br />As always, I enjoy reading your reviews and critiques of the episodes.

D...Hey, folks and loyal PBS viewers and supporters.<br />Didja know PBS edits about 15 minutes from every Endeavour episode? So much for "the impact of the writing", eh?<br />All those clunky transitions and garbled inter-personal communications (is that what it's called nowadays?), all inexplicable? Yeah, Darlene Shiley and crew cut it out. You probably wanted to see the scene betwixt Morse and Joan, while both visit the collapse victims in the hospital - uh huh, inter-personal, that was! <br />But PBS says no, so tough darts, must maintain Morses's rep as an inconsiderate dolt, I suppose that was the decision. Gotta do fund-raising, too, don't we?<br /><br /><br />Try https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=endeavour-2013&episode=s06e04 to see all you missed.<br /><br />Frikkin' disgraceful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918467087072199038.post-56451952746181506102019-07-08T20:45:17.558-04:002019-07-08T20:45:17.558-04:00I'm assuming you noticed the poster in the pol...I'm assuming you noticed the poster in the police headquarters announcing the retirement of "Insp. C. Dexter" (with his photo) about 10 minutes from the ending of the recorded PBS episode. Thank you for the review that articulates the impact of the writing.

Am finding this new series more like Midsomer Murders with unbelievable plot lines, too many suspects, some cringeworthy dialogue, disappointing denouements.The stellar cast is being let down by this fall in quality.

It added little; I'd rather have had PBS go with the sounds-delightful Max scene that I think they cut in favor of that.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999541621680032978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918467087072199038.post-30064200800937731522019-06-16T22:02:11.129-04:002019-06-16T22:02:11.129-04:00Your reviews are excellent, thank you!
