About the Program

Inspector Lewis

Kevin Whately stars as Inspector Lewis, the former working-class foil to the erudite Detective Inspector Morse. Together with his cool, cerebral partner James Hathaway (Laurence Fox), Lewis tackles murder and mayhem in the seemingly-perfect academic haven of Oxford. The duo struggles with procedural dilemmas and existential questions about their futures–on the force and in their personal lives.
