Movie Reviews of Inspector Lewis 1- Mystery!

Movie Review: Oxford Murders Happening Again
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an entertaining mystery series that takes place in the beautiful setting of Oxford. For those of us who were Inspector Morse fans for years it is great to catch up with Lewis. The filming of this is as before a visual treat. The upper class bad guys are great to see. Everyone is so rather polite and nice when first met that one cannot believe what a mess is their private lives. The superintendent Strange has been replaced with one who is Innocent and a woman.
Lewis is still his down to earth self, but much sadder as his wife has been killed in an hit-an-run. He seems to have returned with some of his mentors habits: making his Sargent drink the orange juice while he has a pint, telling interviewees that it's too bad they must be interrupted but this is a murder investigation after all, and listening to and enjoying classical music. The new Sargent is the educated one. I wonder if he could become a "Morse" character as he ages. He might learn some of Morse style behaviors from Lewis.
I can't wait for Season Two. Of course, this isn't Morse, but life goes on and he did make a difference in our lives.

Summary of Inspector Lewis 1- Mystery!

Inspector Robert Lewis (Kevin Whately), prot?g? of the legendary Inspector Morse (John Thaw), and his brilliant new partner, Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox, Island At War) return to the streets of Cambridge and the halls of Oxford University with three brand new mysteries to unravel.

Whom the Gods Would Destroy: When Oxford graduate Dean Greely is found dead near his run-down house-boat, detectives Lewis and Hathaway are thrown into a delicate murder case which implicates one of the University s most prominent figures college Principal Sefton Linn.

But as Lewis and Hathaway soon discover, Linn was not always so respectable. As an undergraduate, he was a member of The Sons of the Twice Born, a hedonistic group that aspired to the principals of Dionysus, and who once killed in an attempt to experience the ultimate drug: Adrenochrome, found in the human adrenal gland. Dean Greely was also a member. But just a Lewis is preparing to make an arrest, his prime suspect Linn is also murdered, forcing the team to consider that Greely was not killed to keep past secrets buried, but to fulfill someone s clever and intricately planned revenge fantasy. Now Lewis and Hathaway are in a race to discover the identity of the group s victim twenty years ago before the remaining Sons are killed.

Old School Ties: When bright young Jo Gilchrist is found murdered in a hotel room, detectives Lewis and Hathaway are drawn into a case driven by celebrity, scheming and dangerous sexual politics that brings Lewis face to face with his past.

The murdered girl is one of three ambitious Oxford students who have invited Nicky Turnbull, a convicted computer hacker turned best-selling celebrity author, to give a lecture at the University Student s Union. But when Turnbull is also killed, Lewis and Hathaway believe Gilchrist s death may have been a mistake. Turning their attention away from the machinations of a loose alliance of driven students, they begin to look at the numerous enemies Turnbull made those he stole money from, those he stole information from, the fellow prisoners whose stories he stole in order to make his book a best seller, and perhaps even his wife Lewis old flame.
