I've loved the "Inspector Lewis" and "Endeavour" series but they are miles beyond the original series in the quality of scripts and the character development. Aside from too many of the plots just being silly, the Morse character is annoying. He's hit on a female murder suspect or a close relative of the deceased in every episode I've watched and never taken no for an answer. I get it that it was filmed in the 1980s and 1990s. A slip or two over a matter of many years might be forgiven but the constancy of the plot device and how it always distracts Morse makes him look like a 12-year-old with a very poor emotional IQ. He's also a whiner.
