- Adorkable: Morse's enthusiasm of opera and slightly awkward demeanour can be quite endearing.
- Broken Base: Generally, a split between fans of the original show and its sequel, and those who came to Endeavour with no prior experience of the Morseverse. As Endeavour has progressed (especially from Series 6 onwards), the former aren't keen on the move towards using contemporary (for the setting) popular music at the expense of classical, and some of the storylines which appear to have the younger Morse moving away from the characterisation of his older self note ; they also have little time for the Morse-Joan ship as, the obvious chemistry between Shaun Evans and Sara Vickers notwithstanding, it is a clear non-starter. The operatic Series 7 Story Arc involving Ludo was not exactly well-received either.
- Complete Monster: See here.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Resident pathologist Dr Max DeBryn has garnered fan affection
for his dryly witty gallows humor, his compassion for victims, and his bonding with Morse over poetry and their outsider status. - Iron Woobie: Fred Thursday. Between his years in the force and his years in the war, he's got some serious sadness behind his fatherly demeanor.
- Jerkass Woobie: Jakes, of all people. He was abused at his Boarding School of Horrors but repressed the memories. When he does remember them, he drinks himself into a stupor.
- Narm: The ventriloquism dummy from Neverland. It's a creepy Narm, but comes off more as an Expy of Scarface from Batman than belonging to a continuity with realistic, dangerous mobsters, institutionalized corruption and murder. Nervous giggles ensue when it talks.
- Seasonal Rot: Series 5 and 6 took a decidedly Darker and Edgier tone compared to its predecessors, following which Series 7 and 8 featured a greater emphasis on series-long storylines, suffering in quality compared to earlier series.
- The Woobie: Poor Morse can't seem to catch a break.
