    As an American, I predominately watch British TV shows, with detective series and time period pieces being my favorite. I find them far more interesting than anything we have. Foyle's War is probably my favorite since Downton Abbey. Christopher Foyle just has such a way about him; his persona is almost mesmerizing. Every word he speaks is so precise and well thought out. I love the characters, I love the scripts...pretty much everything is easy watching. I see people complain about no Closed Captioning. But there certainly is, as I've watched all episodes so far with it on. My only complaint is there seemed to be a disconnect in a few of the story lines. However, if you're looking for an interesting, educational and all around enjoyable series, please do give this a tray. I honestly can't say enough about how well M. Kitchen plays the character of Foyle.

    Absolutely, hands down the best show on Television. The cast, the stories, the settings, the plots are phenomenal. I just finished watching the third episode. Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks played their parts touchingly. It was a very sad and touching story and showed a view of England during WW II that few of us can relate to of that time period and era. It was the time of my parents and they had made their contribution to that monumental effort. This show aptly reminds us what was at stake and how we cannot afford to fall back into a similar situation now or even in the future. This is a show that should continue just to have a future generation aware of the great sacrifices made in the 1940's to make the world a better place for all people and all generation. I had on uncle who served in British frigate guarding the convoys crossing the Atlantic as a radar operator. My father a Civil Engineer worked in expanding their airfields in Dumdum Calcutta and later built roads for British Indian Army in Eastern part of then India, now Bangladesh. The efforts were part of defeating the Japanese Army in Burma now Myanmar.

    I was very pleasantly surprised to have found such a wonderful series. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode of all the seasons. It is a pleasure to be able to watch a well thought out story, performed by such gifted actors that made all their characters so thoroughly believable. Also, living in America, I find it SO very pleasurable to watch a show where everyone speaks such beautiful English and where, even the criminals behave as if they lived in a civilized society and where manners and culture are still observed and universally practiced. We just watched the last episode of the 2015 season on Netflix and I came online tonight to try to find out if there is a new 2016 season in the works. I realize that the cast has been together since 2002 and I am sure that their age and that of the show itself will be difficult to overlook but I/we sincerely hope that there will be another. Good show!

    I've never met the reviewer, Theo Robertson, but I hope I never do. I really dislike people popping off about things of which they know so little. Oswald Mosley was both a fascist, hoping to brand his New Party after Mussolini, and a personal friend of Joseph Goebbels( yes, that Joseph Goebbels). Upon the secretive circumstances of Mosley's second marriage it was conducted at Goebbel's private residence in Berlin. One of the guests was Adolph Hitler. This is exactly how it happened. Mosley sympathized with fascism, anti-semitism, and extreme nationalism. In the episode, White Feather, the character of Guy Spencer may have been based on Mosley and in no way is it off the mark, as Theo Robertson alleges. Foyle's War is fiction but pretty accurate to the time and tenor. It's a right good show.
