I never thought I would actually see Morse surpassed, but I think Lewis is more intelligent, better acted, and more subtle. Kevin Whately is a superb actor; his range of expression and mood are excellently portrayed in his mobile and interesting face, and, since Lewis' character is less morose and grumpy than his erstwile mentor's, there is greater variety too. He has not replaced Morse with a look-alike - he is Morse grown up, approachable, with the same integrity but much more comfortable in his own skin.
His relationship with his sidekick, Hathaway, is played well by both actors, and the contrast between them clear but not laboured. Lawrence Fox is maturing as an actor, and the interplay between his character and Lewis' is clever, gentle, and watchable. Their differences are marked, but their essential shared morality and goodness shines out. As Hathaway learns more about himself, policing and life, he is getting a sense of humour, and understanding that his rough and ready Geordie boss knows far more about far more than he could have thought.
I love these shows. I am writing this after seeing the first two episodes in Lewis Series 6, and if the rest of the series is as good as these first two, buy this set! You certainly won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best series on TV and has taken place alongside Morse as a classic detective show. There are a great many aspects to this show which I admire, and the acting and writing in particular stand out as first rate. Kevin Whateley has taken the reigns of a difficult task but pulled it off admirably.
Series 6 is another great series and while although it is still very watchable I feel it isn't quite at its hayday, hence 4 stars not 5. Nonetheless a great show and strong entertainment.
My choices are often very far ranging - I still think The Wire is the best cop show ever but Morse and Lewis are fine entries into the genre. Recently on top of this I've made a discovery that was extremely funny and unexpectedly well written - Sherlock Holmes and the Flying Zombie Death Monkeys, a hilarious mash up piece of spoof that had a lot to admire. We have a great amount of choice, us consumers!

Lewis is a superbly produced cop show with wonderful settings and great guest stars. Additionally, I feel that the foundation of the series is the relationship between Lewis and Hathaway.
