Inspector Lewis - Series 1 Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Masterpiece Theatre Mystery - Excellent
Inspector Lewis is a police inspector in England, and he is one who appreciates cultures but who also possesses strret-wise savvy. He lacks the Cambridge education of his partner, Sgt. Hathaway (Laurence Fox). Lewis and Hathaway are a great team, and their dialogue sounnds perfectly natural. All of these mysteries take place in or around Oxford University, so the scenery is wonderful. It makes one want to consider enrolling in an Oxbridge institution. The stories themselves are very good without enough twists and machinations to keep them interesting until the end. Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) is still my favorite, but this new Inspector Lewsis series is excellent. If you enjoy British mysrery, buy it!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No LOVED INSPECTOR LEWIS
Watching Inspector Lewis is like watching an old friend. It's like visiting a friend over and over. I liked him on the Inspector Morse series and I like him now. Alan Cumming is perfect as he sets up the story. A must for any PBS Mystery fan!

Inspector Lewis - Series 1 DVD Inspector Robert Lewis (Kevin Whately), protege of the legendary Inspector Morse (John Thaw), and his brilliant new partner, Detective Sergeant James Hathaway (Laurence Fox, Island At War) return to the streets of Oxford and the halls of Oxford University with three brand new mysteries to unravel.
Whom the Gods Would Destroy:
When Oxford graduate Dean Greely is found dead near his run-down house-boat, detectives Lewis and Hathaway are thrown into a delicate murder case which implicates one of the University's most prominent figures - college Principal Sefton Linn. But as Lewis and Hathaway soon discover, Linn was not always so respectable. As an undergraduate, he was a member of "The Sons of the Twice Born," a hedonistic group that aspired to the principals of Dionysus, and who once killed in an attempt to experience the ultimate drug: Adrenochrome, found in the human adrenal gland. Dean Greely was also a member. But just a Lewis is preparing to make an arrest, his prime suspect--Linn--is also murdered, forcing the team to consider that Greely was not killed to keep past secrets buried, but to fulfill someone's clever and intricately planned revenge fantasy. Now Lewis and Hathaway are in a race to discover the identity of the group's victim twenty years ago before the remaining Sons are killed.
Old School Ties:
When bright young Jo Gilchrist is found murdered in a hotel room, detectives Lewis and Hathaway are drawn into a case driven by celebrity, scheming and dangerous sexual politics that brings Lewis face to face with his past. The murdered girl is one of three ambitious Oxford students who have invited Nicky Turnbull, a convicted computer hacker turned best-selling celebrity author, to give a lecture at the University Student's Union. But when Turnbull is also killed, Lewis and Hathaway believe Gilchrist's death may have been a mistake. Turning their attention away from the machinations of a loose alliance of driven students, they begin to look at the numerous enemies Turnbull made--those he stole money from, those he stole information from, the fellow prisoners whose stories he stole in order to make his book a best seller, and perhaps even his wife--Lewis' old flame.
Expiation:
When a North Oxford housewife, Rachel Mallory, is found hanged at home, it appears to be an open and shut case of suicide. But though she leaves devastated husband and two young daughters, she left no suicide note. Much to the chagrin of CSI Innocent, the missing note and victim's seemingly perfect life leads Lewis to suspect foul play. Meanwhile, Lewis receives a request for a meeting from a dying, highly respected Oxford law professor who wants to make his peace with life. To this end, he strikes a deal with Lewis. If the detectives will track down a former student whom he gravely wronged years ago, the old man will provide insight into Rachel Mallory's death. With no other leads with the Mallory case, Lewis has little to lose in going along. But when the professor's first tip leads to another murder disguised as suicide, Lewis and Hathaway find themselves racing to deliver on their end of the bargain, before more lives are lost.

"Some names have been changed to protect the guilty." Such is the cheeky spirit of THE BANK JOB, a solidly entertaining British heist film based on England's famous walkie-talkie bank job. The year is 1971 and Michael X--emerging black activist and budding crime lord--has British authorities over a barrel after he gets hold of sexually incriminating photos of royal Princess Margaret. Desperate to recover the photos, the government pressures troubled model Martine Love (Saffron Burrows) to recruit a team and steal the bank safety deposit box containing the photos. Martine promptly enlists small-time con man and old flame Terry Leather (Jason Statham), luring him and his crew with the promise of millions. But also in their loot is a ledger detailing payoffs made to crooked cops by reputed gangster Porn King Vogel (David Suchet). Leather and mates soon find themselves on the run from both the British spy community and the ruthless British underworld, needing to stay ...
