LEWIS: Now on BritBox

Update 8/15: I forgot to mention that all seasons of Lewis are also available on PBS Passport and Prime Masterpiece. So you can watch there if you don't have Britbox. 

Britbox has added Lewis (2006-2015) to its August line-up. It's a great series, and if you missed it, you're in for a treat. I'm going to rewatch. The triumvirate... Morse, Lewis, and Endeavor, well three incarnations of the show, two people. All three are great series.

Lewis was the first spin-off from the Morse tv series. It picks up five years after Morse's death. Kevin Whately plays Lewis, Morse's former sidekick, is now a DI and his sidekick is DS James Hathaway. Lewis and Hathaway solve complex murder cases, often involving Oxford's academic community. The show mixes traditional procedure with the characters' personal lives, as well as  Oxford's rich history and culture.

Lewis is more of a traditional, working-class detective. Hathaway is a Cambridge-educated man who left seminary training to join the police force. This difference in background and approach creates a dynamic relationship between the two.

Let me know what you think. Happy Viewing!
