10/10

NO OTHER POLICE DRAMA COMES EVEN CLOSE IMHO

I've always been 100% impressed by the brilliant directing/acting of Shaun Evans and brilliant acting of Roger Allam and the exemplary acting of ALL the actors in all the Endeavour Series, but for me, the episode ORACLE of 9/821 just raised the bar another 100 miles !

I was in tears for Anton Lesser losing such a beautiful & dedicated wife, which surprised me as he always "annoys me" with the condescending way he talks to Morse and Thursday.

The plot and storyline to Oracle is 100/100.

Cudos and congratulations to Writer and Playwright and ALL involved, in the most touching episode I've seen yet.
