I'm a PBS Masterpiece Theatre geek. I love my Sunday night ritual. I come home from a meeting and fix dinner while watching Masterpiece Theatre. This year I watched all the Jane Austen stories in Masterpiece Classics and most recently I've been watching Inspector Lewis on Masterpiece Mystery.
I finally got around to watching this past Sunday night's broadcast of
Inspector Lewis, Series II: Quality of Mercy.
Alan Cumming hosts each week and the series stars Kevin Whately as Det. Inspector Lewis and Laurence Fox as Det. Sergeant Hathaway. They solve a number of murders in and around Oxford.
If you know me, then you know I love all things British. These two really bring great talent to a wonderful series. It reminds me of the great mystery mini-series and made for TV movies that we had here in the states during the late 70s. Shows like Columbo and McCloud and Rockford Files.
I loved watching these guys figure it out. And it was always some great story telling. This episode of Inspector Lewis is no exception. Inspector Lewis has to face the past and finally come to terms with the death of his wife.
Take some time to put it on and sit back and enjoy.
So much better than most of the crap they shove at us on American television.
Enjoy.
