Right now you can watch Inspector Morse in Australia on Britbox Apple TV Channel , and in the US on Britbox Apple TV Channel — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. Every one of its 7 seasons holds up. With 143 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. John Thaw's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Britbox Apple TV Channel .

Inspector Morse arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Inspector Morse treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. Inspector Morse is a detective drama based on Colin Dexter's series of Chief Inspector Morse novels. The series starred John Thaw as Chief Inspector Morse and Kevin Whately as Sergeant Lewis, as well as a large cast of notable actors and actresses. John Thaw and Kevin Whately lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It ran for 7 seasons (1987–1993), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The plot mechanics of Inspector Morse never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Inspector Morse. Viewers who responded to Dalgliesh will find a lot to like here too. At 7 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. John Thaw carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Inspector Morse wrapped up in 1993, created by Tony Warren and Colin Dexter — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
