“It’s All Fun, Until the Music Stops”

If you have been waiting impatiently for the second season of the British small-screen crime drama Endeavour to begin, you need wait no longer. “Trove,” the first of four new episodes starring Shaun Evans, will premiere tonight on PBS-TV’s Masterpiece Mystery!, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The official plot description reads as follows:

Four months after DC Endeavour Morse’s involuntary leave of absence, he returns to the force and a case that unites an unidentifiable corpse, an enigmatic note, and the theft of medieval artifacts--seemingly unrelated cases as fractured as Morse's state of mind after his terrifying brush with death.

The next three Sunday evenings will bring additional 90-minute installments of this fine Inspector Morse prequel series: “Nocturne” (July 6), “Sway” (July 13), and “Neverland” (July 20).
