Amazon.co.uk Review:
It's taken a long time for Kevin Whately to take centre stage in a detective drama, but Lewis proves it's been time well spent. Lewis, of course, was previously the sidekick to Inspector Morse, and that raised fair suspicions that this spin-off drama was a fairly unnecessary cash-in of sorts. But those suspicions have proven unfounded, and Lewis has emerged as one of the best new programmes to hit ITV in recent years.
The format's not moved on a great deal since the heights of Inspector Morse, but in this case, that's no bad thing. The episodes in this set on the whole build slowly, and build up intelligently and with diligence. Occasionally there are moments where the pace slips a little too much, but that's more than overcome by the fact that the drama on offer here is so absorbing.
It's all anchored, of course, by Whately's excellent portrayal of the lead character. Eminently watchable, and clearly wearing the clothes of a character that he knows completely, it's a smashing performance, and with the aid of an excellent supporting cast, Lewis develops into a real treat. Is it better than Morse? Well, that's far too early too call. But on this basis of this debut, Lewis certainly has the potential for as enduring a legacy. --Jon Foster
Rating:
- Good solid detective drama
Not quite the same feel as when Morse was the boss, but still very watchable.
Just a bit disappointed there were so few episodes in this package

- No Remorse!
I am so happy that the "Inspector Lewis" mysteries have been continued after the pilot. The mysteries represent a happy complement to the original series. Kevin Whately as Lewis may be older but he is also wiser, and, because of the untimely death of his wife, sadder. Nevertheless, he has stepped gamely into the role of his old mentor Inspector Morse, and he is ably assisted by Sergeant Hathaway (Laurence Fox), a Cambridge-educated student of theology. Thus the tables have been turned from the Morse ... Read More
Rating: - Lewis
The duo Lewis & Hathaway is brilliant. So pleased that they are heading for further series. Script/plot great and Oxford backdrop is terrific, Don't know how many times I've watched "Life born of Fire" but I never tire of the whole thing. Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox bounce off each other really, really well...more, more please.

- "...I Knew Him Well!"
This is Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. Here we have Lewis, promoted to Inspector and fresh (if such be the bon mot) from a few years on secondment to the British Virgin Islands. His wife has been killed in a car smash some years ago and his face looks well and truly lived in! He has lost most if not all of his former charm as Sergeant Lewis, but of course I believe that's called Character Development (or increasing age lol!) and is true to the ongoing story, which started, in effect, with the ...

Rating: - Very glossy stuff !
Messars Fox & Whately play their parts very well indeed ! It is very well acted & filmed . As a person living in Oxford I am so pleased that Lewis has done so well. This series reminds me of the more recent Poirot's inasmuch as Lewis is still Lewis but he is a darker and sadder sort of person who is deprived of the comedic moments that he used to share with Supt Strange and of course Morse himself. This is Robbie Lewis as a mature person who has faced tradegy & despair at losing both his wife and best ... Read More
