'Detective Endeavour', good education

Definitely, one of the best series that is shown now is the British

, and it is because of the quality of its plots and dialogues, an excellent example of what good education is.

Rarely does television offer such respectful conversations with its characters, and less when we talk about a police series in which there is a crime in each episode of its eight seasons and the protagonists are members of the Cowley police station, in Oxford, a city photographed with equal respect.

To this we must add an artistic direction, costumes and locations consistent with stories that take place in the mid-sixties, when what came to be called "the prodigious decade" began.

Dialogues that, furthermore, do not come close to being corny at any time.

They are impeccable and functional, supported, yes, by interpretations as correct as the phrases in the scripts that allow us to define the different personalities of their protagonists: that of a detective Endeavor Morse, opera lover and member of the university choir, basic piece in police investigations;

that of detective inspector Fred Thursday, family man and protector of Endeavor;

Reginald Bright, chief superintendent, unyielding in his convictions in defense of the established order and Max DeBryn, an exceptional pathologist and an overwhelming professional logic.

Created by Russell Lewis based on the stories of Colin Dexter, its first season in 2012 has seen how it has been extended to eight for national and international success.

If there is a medium in which popular acceptance or rejection is conclusive, it is television.

The different seasons can be seen on Amazon Prime Video, Filmin and Paramount Network.
