Set in the 1960s, the show follows Endeavour Morse in his early years as a police constable. Working alongside his senior partner DI Fred Thursday, Morse engages in a number of investigations around Oxford.
Series follows the early police career of young Endeavour Morse, who upon leaving his Oxford College without a degree, spending time in the Royal Signal Corps and eventually joining the Oxfordshire Police, is transferred to CID, attaining the rank of Detective Constable. While with the Oxford City Police, Morse is taken under the wing of veteran Detective Inspector Fred Thursday. Inspector Thursday names Morse his designated “bag man” and shows him the ropes as Morse begins to solve a string of complex murders. Thursday and Morse’s fellow officer, Police Constable Strange, try to steer the young Endeavour into taking his Sergeant’s exam, so that he may be relieved of “General Duties” and become Thursday’s official “bag man” with the appropriate rank and title.
