Reviews

Varun Bhakay 'Foyle's War' is an incredible piece of television by Anthony Horowitz. What a series! Michael Kitchen is superbly understated as Foyle, quiet, a man of few words but is never lost in the background. Honeysuckle Weeks is the exact opposite: chirpy, talkative and eager to help as more than a driver. One gets to see a realistic bit of the English countryside and those who think that all Englishpeople have the same accent are in for a bit of a shock. There are good performances from the supporting cast too, especially from Anthony Howell. The production design is by-and-large period-appropriate. The writing is top-notch. It can get easy to get sucked into a bit of a cycle while writing a detective show but Horowitz goes after every possible crime: from murder to war profiteering. He adds compelling central characters for each episode and has sensible sub-plots through the series. 'Foyle's War' is like wine. Gets better with each passing episode.

writetopcat Set in Britain in 1940 the show is about Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, of the Hastings Police on the south coast of England, and the cases he solves. But it is about much more than those crimes. The culture of Britain in 1940 like that in America of that time is refreshing to see and is to some extent shown to us. In general their moral and ethical behavior as well as their interpersonal conduct is superior to what is common in present times. Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle is a man of remarkable character. He is reserved, smart, observant, and has a dry wit on occasion. His son has joined the RAF and is also a person of character. DCS Foyle has a driver, a young service girl, daughter of a minister. The detective work is very interesting, but no more so than the glimpse back in time, to a better time I think. I know I am romanticizing a bit about things being better back then; certainly there were problems then and crime was a problem. Yet I can only see those times as superior to the present day.

fearthebowlink Want to be transported back to the 1940's and a little bit of the Cold- War era? Want a touch of crime and corruption? Want a super awesome detective and his fantastic sidekick(s)? Well you have come to the right place!Foyle's War is everything that I was looking for in a TV series. Drama, a bit of romance, and best of all: an exciting new mystery every episode. I could go on and on about this fantastic series, but I would end up spoiling everything. From it's wonderful acting to it's superb and complex plots, 10/10 would definitely recommend!

wlb I started watching Foyle's War on the advice of a cinimaphile friend - went though all the wartime episodes and am so enamored with it stayed up until 3 in the morning watching a rerun of episode 1 Season 8 on PBS.The series is great on 2 levels - first - the crime dramas in each episode are so well written that the screen writing on that alone would make it (or any series) great.But above that the historical research - from how people acted during the Battle Of Britain - the attitudes of the "Sitzkrieg" - that lull between the time war was declared over the Nazis invading Poland and the Air War - When I found out they were filming more episodes - well, that accounts for my staying up from 01:30 - 03:00. Season 8 deals with the beginning of the Cold War.Great stuff.
