Inspector Lewis is an intelligent contemporary crime story set once again against the beautiful backdrop of Oxford, England. Following a family tragedy, Inspector Robert Lewis has been on a two-year assignment in the British Virgin Islands. Now he's back in the familiar territory of the English university city - five years after the death of his long-time police partner Morse. Teamed up with the much younger Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox; Gosford Park, Island At War), Lewis doesn't even make it home from the airport before he is pulled onto a murder scene. As Lewis and Hathaway join forces to investigate the death of American college student Regan Peverill (Sophie Winkleman), they are led to another student, Danny Griffon (Charlie Cox; Casanova), a man with a family secret whose previous brush with the law was investigated by a certain Inspector Morse. desertcart.com Inspector Lewis is a very satisfying follow-up to the legacy of Inspector Morse, the late investigator (played by John Thaw, who died in 2002) beloved by many a fan of British television mysteries. Lewis (Kevin Whatley) was Morse's right-hand sergeant. Following the elder sleuth's death, Lewis was promoted but then faced the sudden and unexpected loss of his wife. Inspector Lewis catches up with him upon his jet-lagged return from a two-year assignment in the British Virgin Islands. Destined to be put out to pasture as an instructor at detective school, Lewis instead gets caught up in a murder case that overlaps with an old, strangely yet apparently unresolved investigation by Morse. Joined by a new character, Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox), Lewis looks into the murder of a brilliant American student at Oxford and her connection to the survivors of a racing legend killed, years before, under questionable circumstances. A coffee-stained, cryptic note in Morse's hand could provide a valuable clue, but fans of Morse holding any doubts about a possible new series built around Lewis will see this determined and hugely likable fellow come into his own. Lewis's emerging partnership with Hathaway is one of the real delights of this drama. The younger man, a former seminarian, and Lewis, who lost religious faith following his family tragedy, manage to find some ground for mutual respect and appreciation. --Tom Keogh Review: This is the rare sequel that is as good as the original - This show is extremely well-written and should not be missed by any fan of Morse. I put off watching this for a month because I thought it would be depressing - Morse dead, Inspector Lewis widowed, and now he's been promoted. Would he be turned into a brooding sort of person, or perhaps another Morse? Would the sidekick take on the personality of Lewis? Would they bumble along without leadership? Would it be a sad farce of the Morse series? Well, not to worry - it is WONDERFUL. They were true to the original characters, with a couple of new ones added that bring forth all sorts of future possibilities. The sidekick is absolutely perfect - intriguing, intelligent, subtle, and with a very understated but devastating wit. As for Lewis, even though he's mourning his departed wife, he never strays from the fundamentally optimistic character that we know and love. He's older, more mature, still wounded, but not bitter. The subtle references to Morse are delightful: the anonymuosly funded "Endeavor" scholarship, the comment about no one knowing the first name of Morse (ah, but Robbie Lewis actually does, and so do you, if you've watched the one Morse episode where Lewis overheard Morse reveal it), the old crossword filled in by Morse with cryptic comments, the references to Hamlet, the ring of stain from a Morse beer glass, and the sidekick banging on the window of Lewis' house to awaken him. The mystery part is well up to the Morse standard; the characters are very three-dimensional; and the scenery is as gorgeous as ever. I hope they make more like this one, and I hope they keep the same great combination of writers, actors, and all the rest. You can really tell that this is a winning team, right out of the gate. Review: Inspector Lewis Returns to Oxford... - Kevin Whately, formerly of the "Inspector Morse" series, returns to Oxford as Inspector Robbie Lewis, just back from a tour in the British Virgin Islands and still mourning the death of his wife in a hit and run incident, in the pilot episode of "Inspector Lewis". This Brit mystery is now into its second season but the pilot sets the tone for a highly enjoyable show. Lewis is just off the plane and still in a colorful islands shirt when he is pulled into the investigation of the murder of an American student. Paired off with young Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox), Lewis tracks the clues to another student, heir to an automobile family with far too many secrets. As the bodies stack up, Lewis is under the additional pressure of avoiding an unwanted school-house assignment from his new and skeptical boss, Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent. Lewis and Hathaway will solve the case through a combination of high tech and old-fashioned sleuthing, with an intriguing assist, a clue left by Lewis' mentor Inspector Morse. In the process, the rough and ready Lewis will begin to build a dynamic partnership with the well-educated Hathaway, a former seminarian. "Inspector Lewis: The Pilot" is very highly recommended to fans of Masterpiece Mystery and the Inspector Lewis series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FNNHZC | | Actors | Clare Holman, Jack Ellis (III), Jemma Redgrave, Kevin Whately, Laurence Fox | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,638 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,585 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) #5,442 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (52) | | Director | Bill Anderson (III) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Letterboxed, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.3 x 0.6 inches; 3.25 ounces | | Release date | September 12, 2006 | | Run time | 1 hour and 35 minutes | | Studio | PBS | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Letterboxed, NTSC - **Genre:** Kids & Family, Mystery & Thrillers - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Mystery!: Inspector Lewis - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516BE0N1WWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the rare sequel that is as good as the original *by A***S on February 7, 2007* This show is extremely well-written and should not be missed by any fan of Morse.

I was never that impressed with Inspector Morris (sorry!) but I kinda got into this. Here's my problem: There were 4 episodes in the 1st season and only the 1st episode was released in the U.S. which hardly gives it a fair chance. Release the full season, or, really go out on a limb and release the 2nd season too. "Inspector Morris" had 33 episodes is it asking too much to see a meager 4 of "Inspector Lewis"? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/42981383-mystery-inspector-lewis](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/42981383-mystery-inspector-lewis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
