Endeavour Season 2

If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, Endeavour Season 2 is available on and right now. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 284 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Shaun Evans's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Endeavour Season 2 earns its spot. The plotting in Endeavour Season 2 is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. 1966 brings Endeavour a fresh quartet of baffling mysteries set to test his brain and body to breaking point. Though offset by the possibility of love unlooked for, against a backdrop of growing change in Britain and the wider world, Endeavour must face a challenge that threatens to take from him all he holds dear... Family. Shaun Evans and Roger Allam lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2014. Endeavour Season 2 is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Endeavour Season 2 delivers. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Shaun Evans anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
