What it’s about. Shaun Evans steps into John Thaw's shoes as the younger version of Colin Dexter's iconic creation, Inspector Morse, shedding new light on the origins of the detective famed for his love of crosswords, classical music, real ale and vintage cars. In 1965, a reluctant Detective Constable Endeavour Morse was recruited into the hunt for a missing schoolgirl, drawing him back to the place that would ultimately shape and define his destiny—Oxford. Adrift in the midst of a full-blown murder investigation led by Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, Morse finds himself sidelined, discredited and at a dead end. Facing down small-time thugs, big-time politicians and the demons of the past, Morse begins his own quest for justice—risking it all as he edges closer and closer to uncovering a truth that will haunt him for the rest of his days.
