    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Musical Morse: The inspector's last name, translated into Morse Code, reads as " - - / - - - / . - . / . . . / . " Impressively, this code is precisely reflected in theme music written by Barrington Pheloung, and is easily identified at the end of S1 Episode 2 (Fugue). In the final scene, as E. Morse looks on the sunset over the quad, bells begin to chime. Next, violins can be heard beginning a loop of the musical version of letters M.O.R.S.E., playing on a frequency of 329.63 Hz (tonal E in music). Soon, a masterful orchestration is woven in, diversifying this subtle nod to cryptography. Considering the content of the episode, this thematic and compositional brilliance is perfectly placed.
    • Goofs
      On two occasions, in series 4 and/or 5, Morse uses "Mother" over the radio for the letter 'M', instead of "Mike".

    Best Ever!
    In my opinion they are the best English series ever! Absolutely great story lines, great actors... The Pilot episode is just wonderful.

    I have already seen both series 1 & 2 and cannot wait for series 3. You can watch each episode separately without following the order of episodes.

    I recommend it to those who love English series and not just those... also who ever likes a good thriller!

    It's very difficult to figure out who is the killer and that's what I like about those series too.

    Those series give you some explanations to Inspector Morse and his behavior.
