What BollyAI Thinks

Series 2 opened with a Christmas Day broadcast, a mark of the confidence ITV had developed in the show's status as appointment television. The four episodes deepened the Morse-Lewis dynamic - Kevin Whately's earnest, patient Lewis becoming the essential foil to Thaw's mercurial brilliance. The series' increasing assurance in its visual grammar was evident: the spires and quads of Oxford used not merely as backdrop but as emotional architecture. The adaptation of Dexter's source novels became looser in later series, but this period remained close to the books' sensibility.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
