Inspector Morse

S01E01 The Dead of Jericho

After being overlooked for a promotion, Morse is assigned a new partner, Lewis, who is uncertain about their dynamic. Their initial case involves the suspicious death of Anne Staveley, a friend from Morse's choral society, discovered hanged in her Jericho home. While the circumstances suggest suicide, Morse is determined to pursue the truth as a murder inquiry. Clues, including a parking ticket and references to Sophocles' Oedipus the King, guide him in unraveling the mystery surrounding Anne's death.
