It was a real treat to see the UK as it was in the eighties. The decorations and way of life that were rougher around the edges but far more enjoyable than today. The cases are interesting and clever but Morse is a real dummy of a policeman and the body count goes up when he gets involved because he doesn't catch the bad guy fast enough.
He is also an obnoxious alcoholic as well as a useless policeman. I find it hard to understand why women viewers really loved him and made him a sex symbol of those days. It sort of highlights why good steady kind guys get treated like dirt by the opposite sex and that is why the world is so messed up.
