Dysfunctional Family Indeed

I've seen both Morse and Lewis more than once. I had chosen not to watch Endeavour until now. I have enjoyed it very much so far, particularly the pilot episode.

Early in this episode Nora says "the lights turned green for me when I asked them to." My mind immediately went to The Lion in Winter and Katharine Hepburn's line (as Eleanore) saying that the Channel went flat for her when she asked it to. A quick look at the character names showed Henry, Richard, Johnny and Alice Vexin. It appears Russell Lewis shares my love of the film.

I can say I enjoyed the episode but not as much as I hoped or as much as the episodes preceding it. The acting by the main cast was as usual quite good. I also thought Jenny Seagrove was excellent. The story itself was the problem for me.

Still looking forward to watching the remaining episodes.
