Prelude

Season 9: Episode 1

An orchestra soiree, a much-anticipated performance and an abandoned warehouse are scenes for a trio of deaths. Morse's investigation turns up an unsettling connection to the past. Thursday gets a tempting offer, as does Joan.

This hit detective series portrays the early years of brooding, gifted Sergeant Endeavour Morse working in 1960s–70s Oxford and has been embraced by critics from the get-go. The Guardian (UK) describes the show as “one of the classiest vehicles in TV crime drama.” Endeavour was created by writer Russell Lewis as a prequel to the long-running Inspector Morse series.
