TELEVISION / Reviews of the week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Epitaphs for Inspector Morse: 'He is going out at, or close to, his peak; not many of television's immortals have been so lucky . . . It would be nice to report that he left on a high note, but 'The Twilight of the Gods' fell so far short of vintage Morse that it only confirmed the wisdom of pensioning him off.' Max Davidson, Daily Telegraph.
'Morse was the best, or at least the best company, of them (TV cops) all . . . Come on, Central TV, bribe or blackmail the old curmudgeon back on to our screens on a regular basis.' Benedict Nightingale, Times.
'A series that came in with a bang went out in a whimper, with a plot containing more cliches than a Daily Express editorial.' John Naughton, Observer.
'Perhaps the best, and certainly one of the best-loved, detective series ever produced by British television.' Peter Paterson, Daily Mail.
'With millions of viewers and a whacking salary, Thaw would be mad to retire. Central TV are having us on: wait till Christmas]' Compton Miller, Daily Express.
'There was a lump in my throat as Morse chugged off into the sunset last night.' Pam Francis, Today.
