New York Post by Linda Stasi
If you love English mysteries, and love the old Inspector Morse, you will love young inspector Morse more.

The Telegraph by Anita Singh
This final series has been written to reward long-term fans, with references to past cases thrown in. A character we haven’t seen for a few seasons made an unexpected return. Morse seems restored after unravelling in the last series. But there was also a new string of murders to solve.

Salon by Melanie McFarland
Continuing its emphasis on style and character progression, these three new episodes take Morse and Thursday into the world of professional football, a nudist colony and an Agatha Christie-flavored mousetrap. Each buzzes with a light energy that masks the quiet sickness slowly taking hold of the hero until the situation in the final episode, forbiddingly titled "Terminus," makes it impossible to conceal.

The New York Times by Mike Hale
The racism and sexism of the time [1970s] figure into other homicides, and the indignities of aging and Morse’s latest disastrous love affair contribute to the generally downbeat tone. As always, the dolorous goings-on are exquisitely enacted by Evans, Allam and, as their superintendent, Anton Lesser.

The Times by Carol Midgley
Endeavour is cardigan-comfy and uplifting, even when it is wading through bleakness. ... This is down to the gentle but weighty Shaun Evans as Morse and, most of all, to the brilliant Roger Allam as Fred Thursday. No one holds the screen and turns a phrase like Fred.

Los Angeles Times by Robert Lloyd
It is a suitably complicated and pictorially engaging work of period suburban mystery, with a large cast of characters

TV Guide Magazine by Matt Roush
A treat for the faithful.

Wall Street Journal by Nancy DeWolf Smith
All good stuff, plus a brief but powerful moment at the end that will leave longtime "Morse" fans in an agony of nostalgia

San Francisco Chronicle by David Wiegand
Endeavour is wonderfully entertaining on its own, but what puts it over the top is its loving respect for John Thaw.
