Endeavour

Endeavour has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on BINGE and Foxtel Now, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and PBS. Every one of its 9 seasons holds up. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Shaun Evans leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. Put it on tonight on BINGE and see for yourself.

There is a reason Endeavour keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting in Endeavour is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. The early days of a young Endeavour Morse, whose experiences as a detective constable with the Oxford City Police will ultimately shape his future. Shaun Evans and Roger Allam lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. Across 9 seasons (2013–2023), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Endeavour passes that test consistently. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Endeavour proves them wrong. Fans of Inspector George Gently will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 9 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Shaun Evans carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Endeavour wrapped up in 2023, created by Russell Lewis — and 9 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
