Okay, right off the bat: I generally do not like British TV. Just not my cup of tea - so to speak. I am more of the action adventure Diehard type of movie-watcher. However, this series, while 'slow' by those terms, moves quickly and engagingly in a different way. Detective Foyle (or I should say Detective Chief Superintendent) and his driver, Samantha Stewart (Foyle doesn't drive) solve crimes along with his sergeant detective, Paul Milner. Milner was injured quite seriously in the war, and 'drafted' into working with Foyle. This series is smart, at times funny, challenging and never patronizing. It portrays WWII in as realistic a way as I suppose it would have been. Foyle is perfect as the man who cannot be ruffled, distracted, or bought. He's got perfect facial expressions which conveys what he is thinking. It deserves, definitely, 5 stars. Read full review

We have watched three discs and had some trouble with each of them. One was real bad, went back several times, cleaned it and still part of it was unwatchable. The other two were not as bad but still had some problems. Hoping the rest will be ok but will change review if this continues.

Good entertainment with facts thrown in for good measure. The actors are all good. Five stars, definitely. (Two of the discs have something wrong. One stops just after one hour and the other sputters about at the beginning and then stops. But I did not want to take the trouble to return them) Just today, I took the whole box ... 8 seasons ... to a friend to enjoy and keep as long as he wants.

We knew we would totally love the series since already are fans. Was hesitant to purchase however, because some reviews said discs were scratched or unplayable. Now I know that reviews are for the product and the reviews from multiple sellers are combined together. Our set was new and excellent quality. For those who care about closed captions - Closed captions are available starting with Series 6.

This is an excellent show with engaging characters and excellent plot lines. It presents a picture of WWII that is different from the usual - the stories of the civilians and some military personnel in light of the many historic events that happened on Britain's south coast. you lean a lot of interesting historical information while being thoroughly entertained!
