Pylon

The first show of season 6 shows several of the characters moving on -- different jobs, different locations, different looks. Two things distinguish this episode -- First, showing just how heavily incidents in their lives, both work and personal, weigh on Morse and Thursday, and second, watching the brilliance of Morse solving cases almost in his spare time against the backdrop of the designated police barely making any progress at all. "Pylon" is everything that can be great and terrible about being a policeman.

This is very superior television.

Despite all of the quality shows on, Endeavour remains my favourite still. Pylon has a totally fresh feel about it, everything is different, not just the physical, like the buildings, and the roles that the main regulars are now in, but the music, direction, tone are all very new. With so many changes, I feared this one would feel a little disjointed somehow, not a chance! Pylon continued the immense quality of pretty much the entire previous five series.

Morse pushed into the country donning a tache, Fred Thursday taking orders from an oaf, poor CSI Bright now at traffic (the Pelican advert at the beginning was wonderful,) and of course Strange, who's inner circle will always see he lands on his feet.

The story was so sad, but as always engaging, not the outcome I expected. The dynamic between Morse and Thursday is so interesting, I can't wait to see how the rest of this series plays out.

Great to have you back. 9/10

This is the best episode so far. Like the others, I would like more Endeavour. This one has the most mysteries inside the story that I have to watch it at least 3 times to understand it all and it doesn't get boring. It is so interesting to see how the British police worked in those days and the great acting as well. Keep them coming, I beg of you!

The slightly timing attribution to song release month or type of medical supplies. What's wrong with you people???!!

It's absolutely bloody awesome TV and I am very much annoyed how short this season is. Please, Please, Please! Make bloody 6 or more episodes per series.

Liked the poster of Colin Dexter's retirement in this episode. Curious to know if this is done each time, a bit like Hitchcock appearing in his films
