TV review | 'Inspector Lewis,' a spinoff of 'Inspector Morse,' ending long run as success. Friday. Aug 5, 2016 at 12:01 AM Aug 6, 2016 at 9:00 AM. For almost three decades, the Inspector Lewis series and its predecessor have stood as the definitive British police procedural. Viewers on both sides of the Atlantic were initially besotted with Colin Dexter's often crusty  Inspector Morse, starring John Thaw (now deceased) as the patrician crime-solver based in Oxford, England.

Sunday; Old School Ties, 9 p.m., June 29; Expiation, 9 p.m., July 6. On KQED. With three new mysteries to solve, Kevin Whately is getting closer to becoming Inspector Lewis.. As fans of Mystery! know, Whately played Sgt. Lewis to the late John Thaw's Inspector Morse for many years. Two years ago, after Thaw's death, Britain's Granada television and PBS made the obvious move to build a series around Lewis, who had not only lost his mentor but also his wife, the victim of a hit-and-run accident.

Lewis is a sergeant on the staff of the Thames Valley Police in Oxford, England, and in Inspector Morse is assistant to the titular Detective Chief Inspector Morse. Morse's given name (Endeavour) was kept secret until the end of the series and thus he is almost universally referred to only by his family name.
