After a wonderful pilot episode, Lewis returned with a full series, Whom The Gods Destroy is a wonderful episode, one which feels like a direct continuation of the wonderful Morse series.
The story really does make you think, it gets the grey matter working overtime, just as Morse used to. The ending comes as a real surprise, I didn't see that coming.
Top notch acting, Richard Dillane, Anna Massey, Richard Lintern and of course Nicola Redmond.
Was that an in joke from Massey's character about having seen him before, only last week I watched Happy Families.
Excellent, 9/10.
