Alicia I love this movie so much
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
iglooo101 A must watch. You will enjoy it. - Michael Kitchen( Christopher Foyle) Great actor, played a normal person trying to solve crimes. At times hindered by bureaucracy that was afraid of the outcome. - Honeysuckle Weeks(Samantha Stewart) A great actress, played a very person in a very simple and humble way. Hope you enjoy it as I did.
bradpemberton This program is absolutely one of the best. Each episode is a complex multilayered plot where you can never be sure who has done what or why. The actors are superb, the sets range from quaint pubs to magnificent mansions and the writing is excellent. I have repeatedly noted events and places that I've read about later simply because of the historical accuracy of each episode. Foyle's War is the type of show that is much needed to demonstrate what great writing really is.
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!
pruiett I gave this series a nine. But it borders on a ten. When I began in episode one of the first season, I was not sure. It seemed depressing and the character D.C.S Foyle seemed unemotional, cold, and hard to warm up to. As I continued in the series, Foyle did not change much, but I adapted and began to truly appreciate the work that went into creating feature-length episodes with intriguing plots and subplots. There is genius in the writing, producing, and acting. The sets and period equipment are very well done and seem very consistent.I am an avid videophile, and watch all the "old fashioned" stuff, whether made from 1930-1950 or made to depict this period. Nearly all the "modern" attempts to depict the Word War II period take such liberties and do such violence to the memory of the people and cultures involved, that they are distasteful and unwatchable in my assessment. This British-made "modern" treatment is, on the other hand, superb. The idea of mixing wartime England with a police/mystery story is just amazing and well done. Both elements are given appropriate coverage and the balance is artistically maintained.I highly recommend this series for its quality. It serves as a pleasant respite from the poorly-researched and purposefully irreverent and salacious junk on TV and the screen today. Well done Foyle's War.
