We first saw this series on Masterpiece Theatre a few years ago and have been waiting for it to return, either as reruns or a new season. We decided we just could not wait any longer. An excellent example of understated acting, drama, and intrigue. Each episode holds your attention until the very end. All this is accomplished with practically no gun shots, profanity, and car chases. Never see blood, guts, or nudity. This series is a plus for children because they can actually learn some WWII history from the British perspective. We turn on the closed captioning to help us with the British accent. The main character is chief detective superintendent Christopher Foyle. He is a person of few words, but his facial expressions and body language speak volumes. There is great interaction between Foyle and his driver, and Foyle and his subordinate. I absolutely recommend this series to anyone who enjoys mysteries.Read full review
I never watched this series when it was on, but started buying seasons to stay away from the news. Not always "up" it is a rare drama filled with historic accuracy about the UK as the war approached. Watch it and you will see unsettling parallels in today's news. I highly recommend this series for anyone who asks more of their entertainment than just fluff!

Foyles War is a great series. It’s really engaging and I love the way Michael Kitchen portrays this character. The storylines are well written and executed. I always look forward to seeing the next one in the series.

I have been a huge fan of Foyle's War since it first aired. The writing is exceptional thanks to writer and creator Anthony Horowitz. Although serious in nature, there is also a very nice touch of humor in each episode. With great characters perfectly cast, good mysteries in every story, and beginning with the unique premise of a policeman fighting home-grown crime during wartime, this show is a winner.

Foyles War is a favorite of mine. The acting is supberb, the set and scenery are so well done you feel as though you are back in the l940s. Storylines are very good. I have the whole 8 sets and wish there were more!!! If you like British Detective series, then you'll love this.
