| Foyle's War: DVD Review And Mini Series
|

Chief Inspector Christopher Foyle is played by Michael Kitchen. I love this guy. The Brits know how to make a dramatic and very engaging detective series.
I've been watching Foyle's War for a long time, well, maybe a year or two.
The series takes place in the early part of World War II and Inspector Foyle wants to be in the war, but he is prevented from enlisting by his superiors because he is needed for his "sleuthing" expertise.
What I like about Foyle is how cool he is for a guy living during the World War II era. Even with bombs going off, blackouts, and food rationing, he is the consummate professional.
I want to be like Foyle. He's always calm, even when being threatened and regardless of whether he is solving crimes dealing with looting, sabotage, stealing food rations, or murder. He listens more than talks and often asks a question with a statement.
Foyle's driver, "Sam" Samantha Stewart often steals the show with her detective skills. His assistant, Paul Milner, who lost a leg, (in the British fight against Germany in Norway) suffers from the aftereffects of having been in war both physically and emotionally.
American TV could learn lots from the British.
This series is a terrific way to learn early history of the war, especially along the vulnerable southern coast of Britain.
To be honest, the experience is close to heaven when you can watch a quality show with no interruptions of commercials.
The series is not being currently broadcast on PBS(Public Broadcasting Service), but you can check out a Foyle's War DVD or visit the Foyle's War PBS website.
