 MORSE February 23, 2009
Kristy Bruner (Burleson, Texas USA)
TWIST AND TURNS. YOU THING YOU KNOW WHO IT IS, THEN ANOTHER TWIST. ANOTHER GOOD STORY LINE. I LIKE ALL OF THE MORSE SERIES. MORSE IS SO HARD TO FIGURE, BUT IS REALLY VERY SENTIMENTAL.

This episode provides yet another wrinkle in the Morse series. Over and above the mystery itself, are confrontations that run throughout this entry - between Superintendent Strange, Detective Chief Inspector Johnson, Sergeant Lewis and of course Morse. They don't take sides but rather clash within themselves, two or three at a time, frequently changing allegiances. This by play adds much to the story. As for the mystery: a prison inmate indicates, before his death, he did not kill the last of the five women he is incarcerated for. Johnson insists he did kill her while Morse is skeptical. Johnson, the investigating officer, has not been able to find the fifth body and is removed from the case - replaced by Morse. Morse goes over all the evidence again, finds a post card with a copy of a painting of woods in a forest by Jean Francois Millet, and concludes the missing body is located in Wytham Woods near Oxford. Characters and suspects arrive and depart as the story unfolds including an attractive woman who owns a book shop and peaks Morse's interest, a body with only the bones remaining but alas forensics reveals it is not the body of the fifth victim. Throw in suspected pornography as well as suspected adultery and a mega-twist in the plot and we have one of the top ten in this series.
A classic January 16, 2006

The Way Through The Woods is an example of the Inspector Morse series at its very best: a police-procedural mystery that takes one unexpected turn after another, built around complex, three-dimensional characters -- well written and impeccably acted. The tale develops urgency as it unfolds, both from the developments in the murder case and the dynamics between Morse, Lewis, et al., all working together to produce an intense payoff. Top-notch storytelling in every way.
 Intriguing. Suspenseful. Tantalizing. Satisfying. July 6, 2005

Chief Inspector Morse is a curmudgeon. He is an aging, irritable bachelor with a keen sense of smell for murder. Just the right character to solve this mystery. Layer upon layer of lies, deception, and intrigue shield the truth from the casual observer.
Parnell confesses to five murders but had comitted only four. It takes a death bed recantation to spur the police into action. Even then, only Morse has the perseverance to follow the thin trail of evidence to its conclusion. A "closed case" suddenly opens into a profound mystery worthy of the talents of DCI Morse.
Well-acted, beautifully filmed, and with typically understated British humor, "A Walk Through the Woods" is very engaging and enjoyable.

excellent program, HOWEVER DVD encoding is pathetic; there is frequent loss of lip sync
which is completely distracting; how can they release this with this problem?
