Anthony Horowitz researched historic events of the time leading up to ,through and after World War Two. He than wove them into intriguing multi faceted plots revolving around a core group of personalities. Each episode is based on historic events, so they are not only entertaining but informative. Michael Kitchen portrays Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle. Kitchen portrayal of Foyle as an intelligent observer of all things while keeping his thoughts well concealed. If the audience wants to know what he is deducing at any given time they must watch carefully for the nuance. All that said Foyle's War is a well written and acted set of mysteries that reveal more with every viewing.

Excellent quality, shipped in 4 days. Have bought all series from these guys, all with excellent quality, all sent fast. Series #7 and #8 transpire Foyle into espionage with the SOE and their predicaments. The SOE like the OSS and later CIA spend most of their time covering up operations, plugging leaks, and dealing with internal affairs. Fun to watch someone else do it. Foyle is a class act in the face of adversity with his discerning manner and mature expression. Love the props and locations for shooting a most entertaining series of soft drama.

If you enjoy British mystery and intrigue, you will find Foyle's War one of the best series that was ever produced. The characters are engaging and quite talented and the lead actor Michael Kitchen is perfect for the role of a Chief Inspector. The supporting actress Honeysuckle Weeks works so well with Foyle that they are inseparable as a team. My only regret is that the series ended with just eight seasons.

The last set of an Excellent Series. Set 7 seems a bit dark compared with the other six. The music is a bit different and not as beautiful as before. The scenery is not as spectacular since it doesn't show country sides and hamlets as much, mostly shot inside old buildings. Foyle is excellent, as usual, but has to take a back seat to the dunderheads he now has to work for in the Intelligence Arena. Still a much-recommended Set.
Having all 8 of the episodes is good even tho the original 6 appear to me to be superior.in all ways. I Just purchased number 8 a little while back and will soon play it.
