	Author	Review
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"If you love English mysteries, and love the old Inspector Morse, you will love young inspector Morse more"	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The unfussy approach that worked for Morse also works best for 'Endeavour'"	POS
United States	Alasdair Wilkins AV Club	"For 'Endeavour' to work, Morse has to take his place among those titans of the detective genre who transcend the actors who play them"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Given another opportunity to wallow, tastefully, in nostalgia for its predecessor, the new show doesn't miss a beat"	POS
United Kingdom	Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"Familiar, maybe, and comforting. But it is also really good. If it were cheese on toast, it would be made with the finest English cheddar and there would be some kind of pickle"	POS
United Kingdom	Alison Graham Radio Times	"In the crazy world of rapidfire television, Russell Lewis takes his time with 'Endeavour', and you know you are in for a near-enough two-hour treat"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"A good TV mystery (...) But beyond solving the mystery, the enduring pleasure of 'Endeavour' comes from the small character touches that presage John Thaw's older Morse"	POS
