An excellent British detective drama, set up during WWII in Hastings, England, where Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, played superbly by Michael Kitchen, attempts to solves various crimes. The mysteries, much in Agatha Christie’s style, focus on crimes committed by profiteers, trying to take advantage of the confusion the war has created, by people with political agenda and by a host of other ill-intended folks. The plot, for the most part, is engaging and challenging. But the real beauty of Foyle’s War is that it’s not just another detective drama nor another WWII depiction; the series creator and chief writer, Anthony Horowitz, was able to bring back to life a war perspective rarely, if ever, addressed in film before: a war as it is seen from the home front. Since each episode runs about an hour and a half, it allows for a feature length exploration of different themes. It is very engaging, and as the characters and our understanding of them builds over time, it’s easy to become addicted... The main character of the detective (who is, by the way, supported wonderfully by a host of other actors with Honeysuckle Weeks and Anthony Howell in the main supporting roles) is challenged time and again with dramatic moral decisions, where he needs to weight in a possible change to the war’s outcome with pursuit of justice. Despite the burden Foyle follows the lighthouse of his consciousness in a manner that can transform the viewers as well. Salutations to this filmmaker for pulling this together so well.
