Endeavour (2013)

Young Endeavour Morse is brilliant, awkward and forever in trouble with his superiors; Fred Thursday is the steady, old-school detective who sees his worth and protects him anyway. Shaun Evans and Roger Allam turn that partnership into something close to father and son, which gives the Oxford cases an emotional pull the original series never had. It runs nine series of film-length mysteries and ends on a planned finale. Watch it before or after Inspector Morse; either order works.
