Foyle's unflappable in just the perfect British way
Okay, right off the bat: I generally do not like British TV. Just not my cup of tea - so to speak. I am more of the action adventure Diehard type of movie-watcher. However, this series, while 'slow' by those terms, moves quickly and engagingly in a different way. Detective Foyle (or I should say Detective Chief Superintendent) and his driver, Samantha Stewart (Foyle doesn't drive) solve crimes along with his sergeant detective, Paul Milner. Milner was injured quite seriously in the war, and 'drafted' into working with Foyle. This series is smart, at times funny, challenging and never patronizing. It portrays WWII in as realistic a way as I suppose it would have been. Foyle is perfect as the man who cannot be ruffled, distracted, or bought. He's got perfect facial expressions which conveys what he is thinking. It deserves, definitely, 5 stars.
