    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.

    I had the same problem with the first two discs in that both hung up after several minutes of play. The first disc had two very visible scratches. The second disc had no visible scratches but would not continue to play after a few minutes. I have completed the third disc with not issues.

  • Wonderful series

    I love this series. The stories are compelling and the actors are top notch. I have been watching it weekly on tv but wanted to have the full set to watch whenever I want. My husband bought this for me as a gift and we now enjoy watching it together. So far, no issues with the quality and I am glad to find it has closed captioning.

  • Foyle's War

    Good entertainment with facts thrown in for good measure. The actors are all good. Five stars, definitely. (Two of the discs have something wrong. One stops just after one hour and the other sputters about at the beginning and then stops. But I did not want to take the trouble to return them) Just today, I took the whole box ... 8 seasons ... to a friend to enjoy and keep as long as he wants.

  • Awesome series - great quality discs

    We knew we would totally love the series since already are fans. Was hesitant to purchase however, because some reviews said discs were scratched or unplayable. Now I know that reviews are for the product and the reviews from multiple sellers are combined together. Our set was new and excellent quality. For those who care about closed captions - Closed captions are available starting with Series 6.

  • Excellent show!

    This is an excellent show with engaging characters and excellent plot lines. It presents a picture of WWII that is different from the usual - the stories of the civilians and some military personnel in light of the many historic events that happened on Britain's south coast. you lean a lot of interesting historical information while being thoroughly entertained!

  • Great series!

    This series is one of the finest productions that British TV has produced. From the story line, the scenery to the actors, all were fantastic! Highly recommend!

  • Top British Mystery...

    Anthony Horowitz has done an excellent job in creating mystery stories set during the early part of WWII in England. The 90-minute episodes keep you glued to the story to find "who done it." Michael Kitchen and the rest of the cast play perfectly to their characters. For those who did not watch this series when it aired originally (like me) this is a great package of episodes to pop into the DVD player when there's nothing of worth on elsewhere.

  • We're hooked.

    We're hooked on this series. Michael Kitchen is great as the police detective. Honeysuckle Weeks is easy to like. The dramas are sufficiently compelling and the sets and costumes are authentic for the period of early WWII in southern coast England. Although we've only watched a few episodes, we've like what we saw and once a week watch another.If you like mysteries, dramas, and secrets revealed, this is the series for you.
