5.0 out of 5 stars DCI Foyle returns in season two of this excellent WWII home-front mystery series, 19 Aug 2007
By C. O. DeRiemer (San Antonio, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) returns in the second season of Foyle's War, and the series remains as well-written and gripping as the first season was. Foyle is a British cop based in the southern part of England. It's Autumn, 1940. Britain, woefully unprepared, is at war with Germany. Foyle is a taciturn man, even sad. He has lost his wife and his only child has signed up with the Royal Air Force and is a fighter pilot. Foyle knows his son is going to be at high risk every time he takes off. Foyle desperately wanted to join up, too, but was told by his superiors that his talents are far better utilized where he is. He has reluctantly accepted that reality. Foyle is a dedicated, no-nonsense cop. He's respectful to authority and the rich, but he isn't intimidated. If a person has committed a crime, especially one which could damage Britain's war effort, Foyle will never let up until the crime is solved and justice -- by the book -- is done.

This series is effective for several reasons. The production values are high. A great deal of effort has been placed in evoking the look and style of England at the start of WWII. The cast which backs up Kitchen is first rate. These include the ongoing characters of Samantha Stewart played by Honeysuckle Weeks (a great name) as Foyle's driver. Stewart is an energetic, curious young woman, brave when she needs to be, who gradually earns Foyle's respect. Paul Milner is played by Anthony Howell. Milner, who lost a leg in the Norway campaign, is assigned to Foyle as his detective sergeant. Milner has to build back his confidence and Foyle can't give him much time to do so. Showing up in one-time roles this season are such accomplished actors as Alan Howard, Amanda Root, Nicholas Farrell, Corin Redgrave and Henry Goodman.

Most of all, the series works so well because of Michael Kitchen and the mysteries themselves, all of which are drawn from issues of the early war period. Kitchen is an excellent, subtle, versatile actor whose long career includes the amusing and reprehensibly egoistic doctor in Reckless, the well-intentioned but naive king utterly outmaneuvered by Francis Urquhart in To Play the King and the unprincipled charlatan who finds himself facing Inspector Morse. Inspector Foyle is a serious, thoughtful man of high principles, who keeps most of his deepest feelings to himself but who is not without a sense of wry humor. Kitchen captures the man perfectly. The mysteries this season involve an illicit fuel racket, a genteel hotel out of harm's way with very good food that attracts the wealthy who don't like bombs, an organized ring of looters, a highly-placed American up to his eyes in murder and Lend Lease and how money tries to influence murder investigations as well as government contracts. The series was conceived and is researched and written by Anthony Horowitz, who consistently turns out literate and complex scripts.

Each of the four stories is approximately 1' 40" long. The four DVDs in the set have excellent pictures and audio. Extras include interviews with Weeks and Howell and cast filmographies.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Owed By So Many To So Few, 9 Sep 2008
So Much Owed By So Many To So Few', Why such a title for a review? After all we all know how indebted we are to the RAF, Home Guard and others for saving Britain in 1940. Foyle's War leaves us in no doubt about that. What I mean is that without this small cast of actors that have leant their time and talents to bring 'Foyle's War' to our screens, we might never have known as much about what life was like for civilians and RAF pilots in WW2. Though, just how many pilots actually went home to their families after surviving a dog fight with an ME109 remains a point in question. It's nice though to think it happened sometimes for those pilots whose families lived nearby. Snippets of information carefully included within the script and progress of it from one crime scenario to another are given to us like little gems. Many will secretly treasure these and hold them within for the rest of their days.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Foyle, 9 Feb 2009
By Michael Field "Mikes Headroom" (Somewhere in England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Foyle's War has always been remarkable for its plotting as detective story, superb period feel, human drama, empathic central characters and its capacity to provoke thought.

The first two series were the best and this is the better of the two.
