Lewis: Series 1

The crime-fighting world has been blessed with many inseparable partnerships, a coveted list once graced by the emphatic Morse and Lewis. But as the age old moniker dictates; all good things must come to an end - and in the case of Chief Inspector Morse and Detective Sergeant Robert Lewis, this unfortunately rings true. Five years after the death of Morse, Lewis has been promoted to Inspector, but with the new position comes renewed responsibility - not only to fill the void left by the passing of his previous partner, but to face the same evils with an increased personal investment.Lewis is the ITV spin-off of the much-revered Inspector Morse, which sees the ever-capable Robert Lewis return to his old 'stomping ground' of the university city of Oxford. Having come to terms with the death of his wife, a promotion and a new partner in the form of the ingenuous DS Hathoway, Lewis is charged with the formidable task of solving brutal cases without the mentorship of his late partner - and it is only a matter of time before the familiar flashing blue lights and sombre atmosphere puts the pair right in the thick of it.
