Inspector Lewis: Life Born of Fire (2008)
Season 2, Episode 3
6/10
Fairly obvious but okay
12 October 2022
A young man commits suicide in a church. Shortly afterwards the priest of the church is murdered. Lewis and Hathaway start to suspect a link, especially as the man was homosexual and there are homophobic elements in senior positions at the University. Hathaway has a personal connection to the first death having been a friend of the man in their teenage years.

An okay but not great episode of Lewis. The murderer is fairly obvious from a reasonably early point and from then on it gets quite frustrating as Lewis and Hathaway miss the obvious clues.

The tolerance/anti-bigotry theme was a good one but some aspects are laid on a bit thick. Hathaway's involvement is tad overly melodramatic too.

Overall, still entertaining and watchable.
