Continuing its downward spiral Endeavour hits what must surely be rock bottom with pantomime pastiches of Agatha Christie and 70s “confessions” films.
Directing, screenwriting, incidental music, all take a nosedive, and some of the supporting cast are very poor, something that could not be said of previous series whatever else their failings.
All in all it puts me in mind of the time in S3E3 that Strange gives morse a James Last LP.
The best thing Mr Russell Lewis can do is sit down and watch the pilot episode to remind himself of what he should be turning out, as opposed to the self indulgent dross of the last 2 series.

Product description
1971 proves an explosive year at Castle Gate as CID investigates a bomb at an Oxford college and a death threat to Oxford Wanderers star striker. The death of a local taxi driver leads to a conspiracy at the heart of London’s Soho, and when winter brings with it an almighty snowstorm, Endeavour finds himself stranded at an abandoned hotel, caught in a game of gruesome revenge, while Thursday races to find him before it’s too late.

WELL YEAH, THE 70s
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2021Verified Purchase
It would be impossible over the course of eight seasons -- of any program -- to please every viewer with every episode. And certainly, the denouement of Terminus, with its choreographed and seemingly endless explanation presented in near Greek Chorus style by multiple bad guys deeply strains our credulity while simultaneously reminding us of how TV and films were done in the early 1970s. So hats off again for sticking to its principles -- because Endeavour always achieves verisimilitude in unique style. For a single example, while we are exposed to multiple ways of seeing newspaper headlines throughout this series, Terminus actually resorts to that lowest 70s rung: the flat, copy-shot newspaper headline images that were such an expedient favorite of TV and film of the time and, of course, the cheapest possible method of moving a story along. Mix in troubling hairstyles, fashions found only on the set of Space 1999, Burnt Umber, interiors suspended between the distant and recent past and it's easy to feel as uncomfortable with the visual world of this series as we are with Morse's excessive dependence on drink.
As the decades roll one into another I have been at times given a curious sense of genuine nostalgia for what the series leaves behind. To its profound credit Endeavour insists on moving forward, on not relying on a comfortably and predictably frozen past. For those two things alone, I have to thank and congratulate Endeavour for providing me with an experience no other series has offered.

DON'T spend £14 on this only 3 eps and all very bland. Wait until it is £3.99. The usual Endeavour series has now gone stale.

Not Worthy of Endevour
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2021Verified Purchase
As a fan since the original early days of Morse, I've followed Endevour BUT this recent series is totally lousy. They have missed the plot. Seriously terrible sorry for the actors

Not bad
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2021Verified Purchase
Perhaps the weakest series so far. The final episode of this series very disappointing. Aspects and names taken from Halloween films. Story very confusing, I’ve no idea who the murderer was and why!
