Inspector Morse Set Nine: The Day of The Devil

There is a darkness lapping at the edges of Inspector Morse's fine and complicated mind, explored here in another set of mysteries. As you draw closer to the edge of the series, don't despair, the journey continues with the excellent  Masterpiece Mystery: Complete Inspector Lewis . You also may want to calm your nerves by imbibing Samuel Smith's remarkable ales along with Morse. Samuel Smith's Yorkshire Stingo, only sporadically available, is a work of art aged in oak and bottle conditioned (enjoy the viscous yeast from the bottom of the bottle too). Smith's Imperial Stout is Morse-worthy, while the Inspector downs many a bottle of Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, a beverage suited to assuage his sepia-toned moods.Cherubim & Seraphim: Morse is immersed in family tragedy while visiting his stepmother and half-sister, and we learn a little more about his inner-pain. The young are vulnerable because they don't know that life's hurts can get worn-away with time, thus even Morse's stepniece is at-risk in a mystery that explores rampant drug use and the rave scene. Jason Isaacs is excellent in an early role. A bit of a departure for the series, with Inspector Morse retracing his niece's steps through a rough, lost generation.Deadly Slumber: A great episode written by Daniel Boyle, one of the better scribes of  Hamish MacBeth: Series 1-3 Collection . A fiercely-loving ex-crook father watches over his daughter whilst she lies dormant in a coma. After the doctor running the clinic is murdered, Morse tackles dealing with this devoted parent, and the two develop mutual respect; the relationship between crook and copper is strangely understanding.The Day of the Devil: A dangerous convict escapes from a high-security prison, due to the foolish compassion of the attending doctors. Inspector Morse follows the convoluted path of this criminal, who not only is a master of disguise, but a devil-worshiper of the worst ilk. With Satanism appearing in Oxfordshire, Morse is under great deal of pressure to protect the convict's psychiatrist, and resolve the case.

good product and fast service, +A

Great mystery, Morse, as always, great as he goes about getting clue here and there, but Lewis is pretty sharp as well - they made such a good team. Worthy of viewing

Well produced and written. Worth watching if you are a fan of this type detective police work. Very entertaining and worth the watch.
