Review :
The acting is wonderful and unlike some of the other British series
This series is incredible. The acting is wonderful and unlike some of the other British series, an American can understand what's being said. Foyle is a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Columbo. His driver, Honeysuckle Weeks is great. We want there to be more made. One of my favorite series of all time.

Best Brit Mystery Series
To my thinking, Foyle's War is the best of the best of Brit mysteries. The acting is superb and unlike many of the other series, I can understand the English they speak, for the most part. The fact that we get a lot of WWII history with it makes it a winner for me as I am a history buff. Well worth watching, again and again.

Blu-Ray/DVD Two Hours of Excellent Bonus Features - Historical Drama and Mystery at its Best!
It's 1946 and he's MR. Foyle now, retired from the police force and no longer a DCI. The tag line for Series 8 is "A New War, A New Enemy". The New War is the Cold War, which was in its infancy in 1946. However, as John Chapman, producer, says in Bonus Feature D, the 3 stories in this series "are really all about ripple effects" of WWII. The great war is hardly a distant memory. Soldiers are still abroad and rationing and shortages still bedevil the average Briton.

I enjoyed this series immensely, but it is true that the stories unfold more leisurely. Sometimes the murder mystery is almost forgotten for a while among the other things that are going on. But that's Almost. Loose ends are tied up and the historical background is amazing. The longer length of each episode allows great depth to the storylines and to the characters.

You get 3 mysteries totaling 276 minutes; that's a wonderful 92 minutes each. If you buy the series on discs, Set 8 has 3...

Review :
Six star perfection WWII UK home front mystery/suspense
FOYLE'S WAR presents Brit Home Front war-life through poignant topics, compelling suspense, and many mirthful moments. It is a 1940-45 Southern country experience not to be missed. English WWII involvement and resulting life-style of the population away from the active war front when all England expects an eminent invasion from Germany.
3 episodes of Foyle's Post-War (summer 1945) are done in the same 6-YES, SIX-STAR excellence. Foyle longs for retirement, but it's not to be [great news for fans]. Period drama precision detailing history, drama, action, romance, mystery, and suspense

FOYLE'S WAR is also a series the best 21st century written TV murder mystery ever presented by creator/writer Anthony Horowitz. A modern classic for sure. Foyle's War is fiction, but so authentic to detail that this series is a MUST for historians.

Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) is a cop who'd rather be on the front, not investigating Hastings crime. Milner (Anthony Howell)...
A good all-year-long gift!
Okay, first of all, I have always loved this series, the stories and the actors. I figured it would be a good gift to give to my mom. She enjoys the Masterpiece programs, and likes to watch them again and again, sometimes as a "marathon." However, my mom doesn't like me to spend money on NEW DVDs for her. So, I try to find them on ebay or at the Goodwill-type stores in town. Sometimes, however, I do buy them new. Then I open them up before I mail them to Mom, so they appear to be used.

When I saw the boxed set at this really good price, I knew I had to get it for Mom. When the they arrived at my house, I made them look used, and then I mailed Mom the first couple of series for Mothers Day. Later this month, the next couple series will go out for her birthday, and so on.

Yes, it's a tad deceitful, but Mom likes a good DVD and a good bargain, so, why not?

Kitchen is complete!
This has got to be the best all-around British series ever. Where can you get British comedy, history, mystery and drama all in the same series and in every episode? Kudos to Horowitz for pulling the plots together. Kitchen is the master of non-verbal expression. The cast is well chosen and they interact with their special attributes. I've watched the series a dozen times and I'm still finding new things. Although each episode is it's own entity, the character development grows with the series, so it help at one time to watch it from beginning to end.It's the best buy in town and you can't beat the price. I've purchased this series for some friends who didn't care for TV series and they ended up inviting their neighbors over once a week for a "Foyle's" party. Start your own Foyle's Fan Club.
