Endeavour S1-9: Collector's Edition [DVD]

This is brilliant it incudes the pilot episode it was just what I needed

This nine - season show represents some of the best writing and acting of any crime show I've seen, and it's my favourite genre. All episodes were written by Russell Lewis, and because of this, and the man's talent, the arcs of all of the main characters are subtly and beautifully developed over the entire nine year run. In addition, each 90 minute episode is actually a movie in scope, pacing and complexity. Three mysteries convolve in each, and are skilfully woven into the character development. A tour de force of writing and concept. Shaun Evans as the brilliant (and possibly slightly autistic, but very likeable) Endeavour Morse is subtle, sympathetic and in my book, gives us a master class in acting. Roger Allam as Fred Thursday, his mentor/father figure is equally remarkable - subtle, solid, layered. The sense of period (mid sixties to late seventies) is pitch perfect, and the Oxford setting and the use of classical music make it elegiac. Altogether a transporting journey. If you love the genre you will not be disappointed. It is simply riveting, and subtle enough to be enjoyed multiple times. I'm on my third viewing now, and still finding new things. Genius.

Mrs G and I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode of Endeavour. Writing and cast superb in every episode with Endeavour played brilliantly by Sean Evans.Many nods to John Thaw and the original Morse series which fans will spot immediately, but not an issue if you start here.We wish there could be more, but will make do with this perfectly crafted series.

Great stuff, great storyline, keeps you there, great acting, really enjoying the box set, very good quality and excellent value.

Gift was thoroughly enjoyed

Very pleased

Every actor in this was well casted. But for me Roger Allam is the star. His portrayal as DCI Thursday is mesmerising. The hard no nonsense seen it all done it all cop who takes the young DC Morse under his wing is totally believable! Brilliant script’s and brilliant acting from all. If you loved John Thaw in Morse you’ll enjoy watching this. Well recommended!!!!!

For £80 I found the box set difficult. No separate sleeves and awkward. Now invested an extra £10 on cardboard sleeves to store properly….disappointed but looking forward to watching it all.

arrived early and works on my universal media player. Seller was great, making sure I was aware it was region 2. I would buy from them again

great great series

Il cofanetto comprende i dvd con tutti gli episodi, compreso il pilot. Sono inclusi anche molti extra, come le interviste agli attori, e un documentario sulla serie conclusiva. Tutti i film sono in lingua inglese ed è possibile selezionare l'opzione sottotitoli in inglese. Il pacco è arrivato integro e in perfette condizioni.

Was für eine wunderbare Krimi-Serie. Schade, dass diese wohl mit der 9. Staffel endet.Eigentlich ragt alles in der Serie über den normalen Durchschnitt hinaus:- die wunderbaren Schauspieler, allen voran Shaun Evans- das tolle Setting Ende der 60er bis Anfang der 70er Jahre- die spannenden Krimi-Storys, welche über die Staffeln hinweg an Komplexität zunehmen- die Entwicklung der Persönlichkeiten und der Beziehungen untereinander- nicht zu vergessen Oxford, einfach eine AugenweideMit Morse habe ich über die Staffeln hinweg richtig mitgelitten.Interessant sind auch die Extra, z. B. kurze Interviews mit den Schauspieler und Infos zur Ausstattung.Meine Erfahrung zur Verständlichkeit der englischen Fassung: Ich habe normales Schulenglisch. Englische Hörbücher verstehe ich sehr gut, schaue aber recht wenig Filme/Serien in englischer Sprache. Hier hatte anfangs etwas Probleme. Allerdings gibt mein über 10 Jahre alter Fernseher die Sprache auch nicht ganz klar wider. Ich habe dann über die Stereoboxen meiner Musikanlage den Ton laufen lassen und siehe dar: die Sprache wurde viel klarer widergegeben, so dass ich mich über die Staffeln hinweg richtig reingehört hatte.Zur Verpackung: Die Box selber finde ich nicht so gelungen. Die DVDs kann man zwar einigermaßen gut entnehmen aber so richtig praktisch ist das nicht mit den je 2 oder 3 DVDs direkt übereinander. Nachdem ich die Serie aber nicht ständig ansehen werde ist das für mich nicht so schlimm.Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.

Not too keen on the method of DVD packaging, it's very easy to mix up the series in the box.
