Lewis love meme!

In view of the recent reminder on inspector_lewis that S9 of Lewis will be filming possibly this spring, I thought it would be nice to have a post to discuss all the things we love about the series - the episodes, the actors, the music, the scenery, the fic, the fandom... you name it.

So what do you love and why?

For me, just a few things to get started:

Wow. What a lovely analysis of why you like the series so much! I absolutely agree with everything - Robbie's grieving, for example, and yet at the same time the person he was in Morse still shines through. He's still compassionate, steady as a rock, understands people, is down to earth and doesn't judge, and doesn't accept people judging him. He knows his worth, but doesn't take himself too seriously either.

I love Expiation too; apart from the Pilot, it's definitely my favourite S1 episode. It's the first time James's loyalty to Robbie really shines through: from being the golden boy in the Pilot who 'gets on well' with Innocent, he's become Robbie's to command in any way. Lovely.

S8 is definitely an interesting development. I loved it, though I know there are others who are less happy; such is the way with TV series. I've been on the other side of that love/don't love so much divide with Doctor Who and Sherlock, so I can sympathise. I just love Lizzie. Great sense of humour, great facial expressions (Corrie teaches its actors a lot, of course), and plays off both lead characters extremely well.

And, yes, the fandom. I've been in three fandoms, not counting Sherlock where I was only peripherally engaged for a brief period, and I can safely say that this is the friendliest, the least likely to have cliques or fandom splits, and the one where everyone gets on, joins in conversations and challenges and people don't get left out in the cold - at least, from what I've seen. Just a lovely place to be!
