Endeavour - the Final Season (2022 Russell Lewis)

A magnificent conclusion to an epic series. 

The This Happy Breed moment

"I know thee not old man!" is Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 2

Without giving anything away, the ending, the way the threads are tied up, is an amazing feat of writing (and that Morse doesn't tell Thursday the identity of the biker). And the 'You've never called me by my name' scene will leave not a dry eye in the house.

Anton Lesser reads us out from Shakespeare's last play, 'The Tempest', entirely fitting:

"Be cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air... We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
