Foyle's War: Set 5

This concludes the series that covers WW II from the perspective of a small
coastal town in England. This is the quality of television that is often
lacking in American network TV. Great cast and great writing make this a
must see.

Foyle's war series is a winner in my book. It is well done and not over the wall in baloney.

An excellent final season to go with the previous excellent series. I highly recommend this series if you are interested in well acted and well directed programming.

I have all five sets of Foyle's War. They take place in England during the 2nd world war. Foyal (Michael Kitchen)plays the head detective in solving various types of crimes from stealing war materials to resell them to solving murders. The first four sets have four disks each, set five only has three disks. My wife and I watched all 19 disks together and we both enjoyed them very much. I loaned them to my son and he has been watching them also. He said he also thought they were very good. The disks can be watched in any order, but I think it is slightly better watching them in order. Toward the start of each disk there is a date showing when it takes place starting May 1940 and going through May 1945.

Nice finish to a great series - I own all 5 sets - from an admitted WWII history buff . . . born in a northern German bomb shelter on a gray, overcast Saturday afternoon, there courtesy of the 8th Army Airforce . . . but enough about me.

This BBC series' main character, DCS Foyle, defines Michael Kitchen for me . . . can't think of anyone else in that role. Well written episodes that detail the "civilian" side of a country at war and with nice continuity kept from the first episode to the last by keeping the three main actors - Foyle, his right-hand man and his driver - the same throughout.
