Missing Endeavour?

With the end of the Morse prequel, Endeavour, culminating its 9th and triumphant season, I've rounded up a few of my favorite British period piece mysteries to fill the void!

Shows like Endeavour:
​Inspector George Gently

By far the most similar British mysteries series to Endeavour I've come across is Inspector George Gently. Staring Martin Shaw and Lee Ingleby, George Gently takes place in the same era, with similar pacing, realism, ambiance, and lovely costuming.

Shows like Endeavour:
​Dalgleish

Recently entering its second season, Dalgleish, adapted from the book series following the poetic detective, is similarly charming. Occurring in the 70's, you're in for your fair share of large ties and facial hair, but still with the charming historic ambiance.

Shows like Endeavour:
​Foyle's War

From the original writer of Midsomer Murders, Anthony Horowitz, Foyle's War follows the eponymous detective, played enigmatically by Michael Kitchen, as he navigates WWII 'trapped' on the home front, investigating crime and corruption, despite his attempts to enlist. Taking place on England's gorgeous and charming southern coast, with impeccable attention to historic detail, Foyle's War is a triumph, even as the war ends and Foyle plunges into the Cold War.

​Father Brown

On the (much) lighter side, 1950's era Father Brown solves slightly simper, less violent mysteries, with more of a 'charming' historic ambiance. A cast of recurring supporting characters provide further comic relief.
