Den of Geek reviewed Andrew’s Endeavour episode “Neverland”, the “devastating final episode of Endeavour’s impressive second series”.
However, the review contains heavy plot spoilers, so read at your own risk if you haven’t seen the episode already!
Neverland dealt with horribly topical subject matter in the same compassionate, tasteful manner to which we’ve become accustomed over Endeavour’s two series so far.

Endeavour 2×04 “Neverland”:
[…] I think this episode is the best this year, capturing the pace, wit, characterizations, and humor that made the show unique. Going for a darker feel, the second season has ended by feeling a little bit dull, though, I must comment, it’s still miles ahead of Lewis. “Neverland” changes that, allowing itself some humor amid a dark case, thanks mostly to Roger Allam, Anton Lesser, and the lovely cantankerous James Bradshaw as Max Debryn. Phlegm fatale, indeed.

Endeavour Series 2 Episode 4 Neverland
I am still reeling from the series finale ~ but let’s set the scene, a boy (Tommy Cork) has disappeared and a journalist’s body has been found alongside a railway line in mysterious circumstances…. and a young inmate of HMP Farnleigh due for release makes a breakout after listening to his radio alongside a set of Rosary Beads. Contrast with a police Charity Gala Day where a benefactor is donating a huge cheque and where we discover that top ranking police officers are involved in the ‘Old Boys Network’ via the links of the Golf Course. What follows is an intricate set of events which converge on each other throughout and which unearth a far more sinister set of coincidences…

Here’s another review on Endeavour‘s “Neverland”:
“Neverland”, captured the essence of what the future Inspector Morse means to a generation of fans. This was the finale in which the fan could only hope for, the scene for which had been coming over the last four weeks and which stretched Shaun Evans, Roger Allam and Anton Lesser to the limit of their acting skills and then threw them over the line in some kind of heroic gesture.

[Endeavour 2×04 “Neverland” is] a “gripping, sordid, startling and magnificent end to the series”. […]
Series two of Endeavour has offered viewers a series of compelling stories shot in an incredibly cinematic style that elevates it from run-of-the-mill police procedurals.

Oxford police have their hands full in the S2 finale of British detective series Endeavour (a prequel series to the long-running Inspector Morse) as they need to deal with several cases at once: young Tommy Cork (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) has run away from home and journalist Eric Patterson is found dead by a railway track.
While on the look-out for the young boy, DC Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) also discovers the body of prison escapee George Aldrige, a former resident of Blenheim Valley, a residential home for wayward boys. The home closed years ago and its site is now being redeveloped for the new police HQ.
Morse’s investigation of this seeminly unlinked cases eventually leads him to Nicholas Myers (Andrew Gower), a junior clerk in a solicitor’s office, and he uncovers a deep mud of horrifying secrets and police corruption, that not only threatens his own life and freedom, but also that of veteran Detective Inspector Fred Thursday (Roger Allam).
