It’s taken a long time for Kevin Whately to take center stage in a detective drama, but Lewis proves it’s been time well spent. Lewis, of course, and Lewis has emerged as one of the best new programs to hit ITV in recent years.
The format’s not moved on a great deal since the heights of Inspector Morse, but in this case, that’s no bad thing. The episodes in this set on the whole build slowly, and build up intelligently and with diligence. Occasionally there are moments where the pace slips a little too much, but that’s more than overcome by the fact that the drama on offer here is so absorbing.
It’s all anchored, of course, by Whately’s excellent portrayal of the lead character. Eminently watchable, and clearly wearing the clothes of a character that he knows completely, it’s a smashing performance, and with the aid of an excellent supporting cast, Lewis develops into a real treat. Is it better than Morse? Well, that’s far too early too call. But on this basis of this debut, Lewis certainly has the potential for as enduring a legacy.
Kevin Whately stars as Oxford Police's Inspector Lewis in this spin-off of the hugely popular series "Inspector Morse". Set five years after Morse's death, Lewis has returned from working in the British Virgin Isles to Oxford. The Lewis Series 1 DVD features both the first series of Lewis and its pilot episode while series 2, 3 and 4 all include 4 more episodes for a total of 16 in this set. Series 5 is included also, for a total of 20 features. Season 4 and 5's resolution is excellent, but not retail quality. The rest are retail quality.
