Inspector Morse - The dead of Jericho

I had never seen this series, but I liked this first episode. This ep (haven't seen enough to judge the whole series, so I judge ep by ep) was slow, 'peaceful' for a crime show, you know, quiet, but not boring because many things happen and you find them out along with Morse, little by little.

Details:
Morse says that he doesn't use his first name and that it's not him being silly, it was his parents being silly :-p
He walks a friend home, and Ned, a weird young musician, lives with her, and her neighbour Mr Jackson spies on her through the window. She sings in the choir with Morse.
Anne is very patient with Ned and gives him everything, even money, willingly. Mr Jackson has a key and does work in her house and gets angry when she tells him not to spy on her anymore.
When Morse doesn't find her at home he goes to the choir performance alone.
It seems like she hanged herself. Mr Jackson tells Lewis that he gave back the key and that he saw Morse coming and going from that house... this is how Lewis and Morse first come together.
Annie had a baby boy that was adopted, and was pregnant again when she died. Mr Jackson knows that married Mr Richards had an affair with her and blackmails him. Later on, he is killed.
Morse talks to Ned to ask if he killed her or had an affair with her or otherwise why was he stealing from her, and Ned hits him on the head and runs out.
Richards calls Morse 'the singing policeman' :-p Detective Bell tells Morse that he keeps 'turning up like a bad penny' - 'I do, don't I?' :-p
Morse suspected Richards but he was talking to him when Jackson was killed.
Bell is promoted superintendent, and Morse gets the case. He's chief inspector now, working with Lewis.
He suspected Richards because his car was at Anne's house with a ticket on it. Richards was with another woman, it was his wife Adele, she went there but Anne was already dead.
Adele took love letters between Anne and her husband, Ned found her dead too but he needed heroine so he took her money and left.
Anne killed herself because Richards broke her heart.
For a moment Morse thought that Ned might be her lover or her lost son, but he wasn't.
Regarding Mr Jackson, the Richards brothers swapped places, and one of them killed him, the one who was not with Morse, whatever his name was.
