I didn't watch Morse the show, but I would totally take young Morse over old Lewis. Though really, I would like a combination of young Morse and Hathaway, but apparently that's against the laws of time and space or something.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
The problem with old Lewis is that they decided to kill off his wife so he would have some issues to deal with when he got his own show. Young Lewis was a happy-go-lucky guy who got on Morse's nerves. Which wasn't hard to do. Old Morse was a lonely, often pathetic man.
9/10, I watch(ed) most of them, though. Guess the networks know my sweet spot. I hate the reveal of the Dr. Phil one. Makes me feel a little dirty for occasionally watching it.
Morse, yes, thank you! That's a pretty good endorsement, Dana, I'll bear it in mind.
There's a newish (it's been up a few weeks) season of Blackpool up on Netflix, for those short of procedurals.
So did anyone see the S6 opener for Elementary? It is sitting taunting me on my recorded tv queue. I've missed them so.
I did. I am annoyed by a contrived obstacle to overcome, but it at least set up a story arc.
The closing scene at least neutralized some of the treacle. Does anyone think as a surprise that Sherlick's new friend *wont'* turn out to be a serial killer? Maybe at the least a professional killer - someone who make his living at murder rather than just a dedicated hobbyist? Me neither. I will give them lots of points if he turns to be a cleaner - disposing of bodies for a fee. Anything other than the obvious.
I am watching Elementary now. I guess I missed the last ep or two from last season.
We went to watch Elementary, and remembered we had purposely not watched the last season finale to hold it until we would have more. So now that it has been watched trying to be patient and wait to watch with Brendon. Maybe tonight?
