Michael Kitchen stars as Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle in this acclaimed, long-running series. Originally airing on ITV between 2002 and 2015, Foyle's War follows the dramatic world of this hardworking detective during the Second World War in Hastings, Sussex; with the final two series taking Foyle into the murky world of MI5 in London and the perils of the Cold War. War can take away the finest men, and what it leaves behind can make a wealth of trouble for a detective short on everything but crime. Foyle struggles against a dark world of murder, robbery, sedition, corruption, sabotage and conspiracy that must be fought at every turn. His job is never easy, but it makes for a timeless, compelling and exciting series. (Acorn Media Australia)

From the perspective of content and processing, this television series does not represent anything exceptional. However, the combination of classic detective story with a wartime atmosphere works and creates a solid retro feel supported by reliable performances from the actors involved, among whom the young talented Honeysuckle Weeks stands out as his driver and assistant alongside Michael Kitchen in the lead role. Due to the small number of episodes, both series have a rare balanced level - the screenwriter did not have to forcibly squeeze ideas out of himself. Overall impression: 60% for a standard British entertainment. The entire series exudes a typical old-fashioned atmosphere of the British monarchy and the lives of the middle class of its era.
