Morses sidekick triumphs - By: foxcylady, 03 Jul 2008 
I watched Morse, I own alll the series of Morse, I love Morse!
I greeted this series with dislike even before I saw the first episode rather childish I know but thats me. Nothing else on the tv that night so I thought what the heck.
Watching the character of Lewis slowly unfold without the ever present Morse was fun. I would recommend the two series to any Morse farn or indeed any crime fan.
Its enjoyable, the characters are likeable & the acting brilliant the story lines arnt bad either. Lewis is the new Morse.
So far the best I know - By: H. Halldorsdottir, 15 Jun 2008 As an avid Morse fan - Lewis is even better. Whately brings his Lewis character to full bloom through the series & Fox is developing apace as Hathaway. Their relationship is growing in a believable way. I just love the series. Unfortunately one of the disks in the collection I just bought was faulty - but Amazon is sending me a new one, free. This is good service & ensures my ongoing business with them.
Excellent detective series - By: Mr. R. Hunter, 26 Apr 2008 The Morse hangover with Lewis, to my mind, has well & truly gone. Lewis' character has developed (and crucailly is still developing) thanks in large part to Kevin Whately but also due to the fact the series is extremely well written. The key was having a support character who could add something extra to off-set Lewis' more straight-up persona & Hathaway is both brilliantly acted & well played out.
There are only ocasional nods to Morse & these never feel strained, instead they tend to work as they would in real life: the odd rememberance & half-forgotten memory.
I was a huge fan of Morse & heartily recommend Lewis.
Hmm, I'm not convinced... - By: democritus, 14 Apr 2008 
I must confess that I do enjoy these series as a legacy of Morse, but reallly it is a rather pale imitation. I'm not sure that Kevin Whately has enough presence as an actor to carry the whole & the character of Lewis himself doesn't have the intuition & insight of Morse, making his own sudden revelations to solve a case somewhat implausible. Hathaway was a fascinating chracter in the earlier series, the real keeper of the Morse flame, but seems to have evolved (or rather devolved) into merely a sounding board for Lewis. I'm sure I'll keep on watching though...
Bye Bye Morse, Hello Robbie Lewis. - By: Cinematique, 10 Apr 2008 With this second series I feel Lewis has lost the "ooh, not as good as Morse" tag & come into it's own.
Series One, in my opinion, nodded a little too often in the direction of Morse's ghost who always seemed to be one step behind Robbie Lewis.
Series Two is superb. Lewis & Hathaway are now their own closely knit unit & some of the interplay between them was touching & amusing. It was also nice to find out about Hathaway's "priestly past".
There was Morse & now there's Lewis. Buy this, you won't be disappointed.
