By far the best police series of all time, only Endeavor and/or Morse come close.

And that was Lewis, second time (at least). It remains a very nice series, although half a half less could also be done. The murder cases themselves are often fun, but almost never very surprising, put together, but oh well. It is mainly Kevin Whately, the former assistant of the legendary Inspector Morse, who is working his way up to a full-fledged successor in his own way. At the end here you'd think Laurence Fox might get his own spin-off, but that didn't happen (I do see him - and Lewis - popping up in the TV series 'Mystery!', but when that I can't find out via Imdb)... The supporting roles of Clare Holman (Dr. Laura Hobson) and Angela Griffin (DS Lizzie Maddox) are also worth mentioning.
I'll just leave the 3.5*, for convenience.
