5 out of 5 stars Retribution.......2007-01-06

An episode that hits the ground running - wire to wire action; and because the action is non stop there really isn't time for the personal Morse and his idiosyncrasies, which is disappointing, but then again this is a very different Morse than we usually get and we can appreciate the change of pace because the story is so well done. Excellent turns by James Grout (Superintendent Strange,) and J. Richard Griffiths (Cannon Appleton.) This is a thriller with two big twists, both saved for the closing scenes, and they do twist and surprise. A first rate Morse entry.

4 out of 5 stars Intriguing. Suspenseful. Twisting. Vengeful........2005-07-11

In "The Day of the Devil" we find our self-assured bachelor, Inspector Morse, confronted with a serial rapist and murderer who escapes the mental hospital. To make matters worse, this criminal is also a master of disguise, resourceful, and deadly. After abducting an innocent housewife, he begins to make his demands on the police and Inspector Morse.

Morse's sleuthing is consistently frustrated by the murderer who remains one step ahead of him at every turn. But as he and Lewis methodically follow the trail of evidence and build their case, another set of facts and relationships begin to emerge. There are accomplices and help from unexpected sources.

The writers dismiss the issues of devil-worship and the occult as they toy with the theme in this episode. The mysterious quickly gives way to the ridiculous and for an uncharacteristic moment, the plot becomes sloppy and poorly written.

All in all, though, this is an interesting episode in an engaging series.
