Inspector lewis season 8 tote bag12/17/2022 ![]() As always however the acting is solid, on the other hand, with Kevin Whately very good and Laurence Fox a breath of fresh air. A big turn off here was Hathaway's unusual grumpiness and rudeness, often for no real reason or if there was a reason it could have had a clearer explanation. Really don't care for the character of Maddox still, she is bland and doesn't gel and Angela Griffin's acting doesn't make me feel any different. The premise is not exactly a new one and does see some over-familiar scenes and moments that could have done with more freshness. "One For Sorrow" was a promising start to the ninth and final season, and the succeeding episode "Magnum Opus" while a long way from great was also decent. ![]() "Beyond Good and Evil" is generally the best episode of Season 8. "Entry Wounds" was decent if unexceptional, with things getting better with "The Lions of Nemea" (although that didn't wow me either). "Intelligent Design" however was much better and easily the best of that season. In all three of the Season 7 episodes, this has proved to be rather awkward and in "Down Among the Fearful" and "The Ramblin' Boy" ran the risk of forgetting what happened previously and being even more confused by events and who the characters were. The show's seventh season suffered from the rather bizarre decision to split its three episodes into two halves, meaning having to wait until the next week until the conclusion. On the other side of the coin, fortunately the season gets back on track with a great finale and its best episode "The Indelible Stain". Unfortunately, "Fearful Symmetry" was very disappointing and has always been one of my least favourite 'Lewis' episodes. Season 6 started off very well with "The Soul of Genius", while "Generation of Vipers" was even better. ![]() Season 4 generally was one of the better seasons of 'Lewis', with all the episodes very good to great, and Season 5 was solid with the only disappointment being "The Mind Has Mountains". Season 3 was more of a mixed bag (not a bad season at all, but started a little disappointingly, though better than reputed, with one of the show's generally lesser episodes "Allegory of Love"). 'Lewis' was a show that started off promisingly with the pilot and the first season, while getting even better with a more settled Season 2 where the show hit its stride. The good news is, like the prequel series 'Endeavour', 'Lewis' is every bit as good as 'Inspector Morse' and stands very well on its own two feet as a detective mystery and show in general. Hearing about 'Lewis' for the first time when it first started, there was a big touch of excitement seeing as 'Inspector Morse' was and still is one of my favourites but also a little intrepidation, wondering whether the series would be as good.
