No matter what your opinion on the end of Endeavour is, we can all agree they did the most important thing correctly.
Dorothea Frazil and Max Debryn looked like absolutely fashion icons every single episode. Like Morse's life is decaying around him but at least his gay best friends were serving looks next to him.

Btw, it's worth mentioning Shaun also pushed for Frazil to have a bigger role in the series. The man has good instincts!

Ugh, that thing Russell Lewis does...
... of dropping in devastating or revealing character information in off-hand bits of dialogue or the info on a tombstone you see for one second or this this that and the other. Right up until the final episode.
Some of the things that are really blink-and-you’ll-miss-it the first time around if you’re not careful:-
Bright lost his daughter. While way posher than most of the characters he’s still not from quite as upper class a background as his wife (who cheated on him at least once, though they weathered it). Her nickname for him means “tiger”. He doesn’t seem to have fit in comfortably at any point with anyone, perhaps indeed until he starts to bond more closely with Fred and Morse in the last 2-3 series.
Win was stalwartly in London for at least part of the Blitz. She once met a guy with a foot fetish who flirted with her and she’s still tolerantly amused decades later.
Constance was less than 20 when she had Morse. (AAAAAAAH.) (Everything about her marriage to Cyril sounds horrifying frankly.)
Max is gay and has a lost love (“and one was fond of me” / ”the one that got away”)
Fred grew up without indoor plumbing and generally in fairly intense poverty, he and Charlie at least (presumably Billy and I suspect their mother too) were physically abused by their father (who was an alcoholic).
Also on Fred: he was already an anti-fascist in the 1930s including when it meant joining with one of his colleagues (Sgt Vimes, who Sam was probably named after) against the rest. (Frankly Fred is the king of the “devastating info that is easily missed”, and that last point regards some moderately obscure knowledge to decode but it’s solid once you have that.)
Jakes’s non-Blenheim Vale background was very poor too, given his familiarity with the “Never-Neverland” of the kind of housing estate that replaced the kind of slum that Fred grew up in.
Dorothea has had a fricking epic past doing war correspondence etc..
Sam was bullied at school and didn’t tell his father because he was worried about how he would react.
Jim was brought up by his apparently rather obnoxious and judgemental grandmother, which might explain the desperate need to fit in and get on at all costs, as well as the extremely skilled peacemaking at times. He might have been in the navy before the police, though that’s a bit more uncertain.
Trewlove went to a posh enough school to have serious chess-playing as a thing. (She’s definitely the only person at the station with a comparable class background to Bright’s.)
And so on; I know I’ve missed out plenty of things here and especially I know there’s some info about Win that’s on the tip of my brain and I can’t quite remember. (I think she’s from Blackpool originally, e.g. and misses the sea? And did some war work outside London?) I weirdly couldn’t think of anything significant that’s not already foregrounded about Joan, Box, Fancy, or Monica; help me out here lovelies. :-) 
This is on top of eveeeeerything about Morse, which is far more foregrounded but even he has things dropped in very casually sometimes.
Goodness they’re all so messy and I love them all so very very much. <3 (Though also: I so very much wish that Lewis gave just *more* to his women characters. I have the obvious reservations about Joan’s arc (I *like* Strange, but... hmmmmmmmmmm), and the obvious wishing that Monica and Trewlove especially had had far far more to do.)

(A little bit more than) Six Sentence Sunday
A little snippet of the final chapter of after the trial
'I’ve been thinking about what I’ll do if I leave the police.’
He swallows, giving Monica a small, guilty look that cuts against her heart.
Dorothea nods and Dev breathes out a long, slow breath, casting his eyes skyward.  Monica rests her hand over his, wishing that Robbie was with them.
‘I- I don’t know what that is yet. It might- I was thinking about the law, but I don’t know-’ He pauses, tugging on his earlobe. ‘I know that we can’t go on with just my sick pay and Mon’s maternity leave. I don’t want the children to know that we’re struggling. To know that I’ve failed them- ‘
In the quiet, Dorothea breathes out a long, slow breath, reaching to cup his cheek. Up ahead, Constance and Freddy have stopped walking, Freddy looking worriedly back down the path. From the pram, baby Pete squalls at the sudden change in motion and Monica kneels before him, watching the cross, dark eyes soften as his little fists reach for her.
‘Mama’s here, little rabbit,’ she whispers, rocking him close, feeling his warm weight settle as he nuzzles against her breast.
‘’Darling, you haven’t failed anyone,’ Dorothea murmurs. ‘Your Mam and I can cover the expenses. There’s money that my father left me that was going to go to my eldest son when he turned eighteen on-'
Dev opens his mouth to interrupt but is quietened with a long, hard look as Dorothea wipes her eyes, looking older and more tired than Monica has ever seen her.
‘Your Mam and I will help with any and all expenses on the condition that we don’t lose you, my lark.’

Rewatching Fugue and realising the whole plot starts because Dorothea puts Morse's face on the front page.
What kind of bullshit slow newsday does it have to be where - in OXFORD - the top story is "local police officer also sings sometimes"?
Dorothea committed to the bit of teasing Morse and we have no choice but to stan.
