Member $59.49 Inspector Robert Lewis (Kevin Whately) is back on familiar ground - Oxford, England - though not all is as it was. Five years after the death of his long-time partner, the legendary Inspector Morse (John Thaw), Lewis is trying to prove himself to his dubious new boss while rebuilding his life following the hit-and-run death of his wife. To do that, he must confront his past, his future, and his new younger partner, the brilliant and distant Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox). Fortunately for Lewis, his most compelling cases haven’t changed much at all; they still revolve around the secrets and lies of the Oxford elite he knows so well.
