I tried the whole way through Lewis not to compare it with Morse, but it's hard not to. I adored Lewis, but always thought it needed a little time to find its groove, as with the previous episode I felt it was ok, but not a patch on the episodes that would follow, the dynamic between Lewis and Hathaway isn't quite there yet, and the story was a bit all over the place. It boasts an incredible cast, but some of them are just wasted, such as Vincent Regan.
As it progresses it gets better, and the ending is fantastic, very dramatic and nail biting. James Wilby is the standout, but casting directors were guilty of using him in similar roles.
I enjoyed it, but when I compare this to episodes from the third and fourth series it's not quite there yet. 6/10.
