Season 1, Episode 3
1/10
Awful

I find "Service of All the Dead" to be typical of the entire first season -- awful. I don't much like Inspector Morse as a character. He was undisciplined (slow and most of the time inebriated), unprofessional (continually attempts to have inappropriate relationships with suspects), and foolish (places himself in needless danger). I have read and watched hundreds of murder mysteries (not the techno-babble CSI junk), but the ones where detectives rely on their intelligence, understanding of the human condition, and clues. The first three Inspector Morse mysteries are stifled by Morse's womanizing. Had it not been for the female suspects he had been attempting to sleep with, he would have had many fewer murders per episode and solved the case. This is incompetence at its most frustrating.
