Endeavour: Rocket (2013)
Season 1, Episode 3
9/10
A wonderful episode.

Rocket is a terrific episode from Endeavour's fantastic first full series. It's a story which sees Thursday and Morse solve a murder at a munitions factory, a factory where accidents seem to happen frequently. I enjoyed the side story of the Royal visit, that added a different dimension to the episode.

The story was very good, complex and intriguing. Morse is still learning how place, still not popular with his Sergeant, or indeed the Chief Superintendent. There is also the privileged family caught up in the murder, who have a vital role in selling arms, as well as The Royal visit, plenty of political eggshells here.

If you're observant, you could crack this one, something doesn't feel right, and proves to be a vital clue.

Some terrific performances, Craig Parkinson, Jack Roth, Martin Jarvis, as well as a stunning performance from Jenny Seagrove who is regal, cold and commanding.

The production values are impeccable as always, I loved the cini film videos, and as for the music, that was sensational, opening to Va Pensiero was a wonderful choice.

Brilliant. 9/10
