'Endeavour' Season 8 Episode 3 'Terminus' Recap: fair is foul and foul is fair
I have to say, this UK thing of making seasons hilariously short just kills me. How are we already at the end of this season?? On the plus side, this episode is shaping up to be a real delight. There’s a creepy, potentially haunted country hotel that once saw a horrific multiple murder. And nearby, there’s a late night bus with a laughably small passenger list, including a fashionably dressed young lady in go go boots and a severe middle aged man. When both passengers disembark, one of the bus attendants pervily follows the young woman, claiming he needs to pee. At this point, reader, I become fairly convinced that this poor gal is about to get murdered and/or assualted, but lucky for her, I’m wrong: for the next day, it’s the dead body of the middle aged man that Fred and Strange are looking at in the freezing morning air. -
'Endeavour' Season 8 Episode 2 'Scherzo' Recap: unworthy of your love
For the non-musical, scherzo is a “vigorous, light, or playful composition” and those vibes are very much present and accounted for in the opening of this episode. There’s a young couple getting dropped off at a place called Paradise Court by a charming cabbie. There’s a middle aged man dancing through his garden. There’s a ripped gardener. There’s a young lady learning how to drive (and getting leered at in the process, which is less fun). There’s a figure drawing class, which counts among its members Mr. BRIGHT, of all people. Not gonna lie, all of this made me want to go fix a summer cocktail to accompany the episode, and while I fear that that would leave this recap riddled with typos at best and unfinished at worst, there’s nothing stopping YOU, dear reader. -
'Endeavour' Season 8 Episode 1 'Striker' Recap: ancient grudge break to new mutiny
There comes a time when one must take a good hard look at one’s priorities. Why, for instance, have I thus far never recapped Endeavour, despite being more than a little obsessed with the show? Alas, this mystery will have to remain unsolved, since I can’t call upon our pals at the Thames Valley station for assistance. That being said, we’re here now, so let’s crack on: season eight opens, as Endeavour episodes are wont to do, with sweeping music, and a string of moments that will undoubtedly make me yell “oh, THAT’S what that meant!” later. -
