Throughout the years, everyone’s favorite failed academic turned detective Endeavour Morse has had several cases that touch on race. “Striker,” the…

For the non-musical, scherzo is a “vigorous, light, or playful composition” and those vibes are very much present and accounted for in the opening of this episode. There’s a young couple getting dropped off at a place called Paradise Court by a charming cabbie. There’s a middle aged man dancing through his garden. There’s a ripped gardener. There’s a young lady learning how to drive (and getting leered at in the process, which is less fun). There’s a figure drawing class, which counts among its members Mr. BRIGHT, of all people. Not gonna lie, all of this made me want to go fix a summer cocktail to accompany the episode, and while I fear that that would leave this recap riddled with typos at best and unfinished at worst, there’s nothing stopping YOU, dear reader.

There comes a time when one must take a good hard look at one’s priorities. Why, for instance, have I thus far never recapped Endeavour, despite being more than a little obsessed with the show? Alas, this mystery will have to remain unsolved, since I can’t call upon our pals at the Thames Valley station for assistance. That being said, we’re here now, so let’s crack on: season eight opens, as Endeavour episodes are wont to do, with sweeping music, and a string of moments that will undoubtedly make me yell “oh, THAT’S what that meant!” later.

How did the sophomore seasons of these Regency-era period dramas with diverse casts and dedicated fans turn out?

You asked for it: more dramas like Bridgerton Season 2

The final episode of Ridley Road brings the story of the 62 Group to a satisfying end. However, the journey is fraught with danger for all of our favorite characters. Gathering the evidence necessary to bring Colin Jordan and his fascist co-conspirators to justice won’t be easy. Let’s discuss how the series finale unfolds.

Vivien’s successful infiltration of Jordan’s inner circle becomes an opportunity for the 62 to gather more evidence against Jordan and prevent more Jewish people from getting hurt. However, the closer Vivien gets to Jordan, the more likely the people around her are to discover her double life. Let’s talk about what happens in episode 3.

Vivien’s curiosity about Jack/Peter’s recovery leads her to start her first real assignment as an antifascist with the group that meets in the tailor shop. This episode reveals that they're called The 62. Once again Vivien has to face National Socialist Movement leader Colin Jordan. Will her beginner’s luck hold under real experience? Let’s find out:

Hey so the penultimate episode of this season was pretty intense, huh? Here’s the deal: I’m gonna dive right in, and every so often, when things just get too stressful, we’ll all get to look at a gif of a cute animal. Sound good? Ok, moving on: as you might expect, this week starts pretty much right where we left off. Rescue workers are struggling to reach the train in order to help the injured get away from the wreckage, and our friends at Nonnatus are busy setting up a first aid station when a bloodied Boots runs up to Fred where he’s directing traffic outside.

Have you all recovered from the season 2 finale? I’ll be honest with you: I have not! So much so that I’m decided not to even TOUCH what happened with Charlotte and Georgiana in this season finale article (if you want to see my unvarnished reaction, don’t worry, I obviously discussed it in my recap). Instead, we’re talking about the wedding: did Regency nuptials really look like that?
