This is our favorite mystery. We love the characters and the actors. Besides the entertainment we have learned many things about the war and better understood others. It also has given insight to emotions and attitudes of that time along with the moral dilemmas people often faced.
Foyles War is captivating

My wife and I have enjoyed watching all episodes of Foyles War. It is an excellent portrayal of life in England during World War II. We have thoroughly loved following the characters as they become involved with mystery, intrigue and each other.
DCS Foyle is back!!!

I first watched this series on PBS and was hooked by the characters and the historical info given in Special Features. From PBS to my own Folye's collection, I was so unhappy to have it end. Then I read that another post war episodes were available and without hestitation I ordered it. The writer of this series is a genius. The only thing that I would want more of from this Series is MORE!

This is one of those rare TV series that works on just about every level. The actors are all top-rate and interact beautifully with one another. The screenplays are interesting and based on historical events so one gets a good feel for what people in wartime Britain were experiencing. The ambiance of Hastings and its surroundings give an authentic feel to the stories. This one's definitely a keeper. It's too bad this last offering is the last one.
Good

All Foyle's mysteries are very good. Foyle #6 is set after the war. For me, it was not quite as captivating as the wartime sets. It was still well worth purchasing and viewing but I'm guessing that some of the exigencies of war added to what grabs and holds your interest and attention.
History, mystery and so much more.

Incredible detail in historical reproduction. You feel right in the middle of England's WWII struggle for survival as the English families felt it. Great background information concerning plot substance. I thought I knew a lot about WWII, but the producers of this series provide a much richer understanding of events.
Great finish to a great series

This is a great series if you like English mysteries, World War II action, great acting and wonderful characters. It is only 3 episodes, but is a must for fans of Foyle's War.

The Foyle Series provides not only entertainment , but a look at how the British people dealt with WWII. Life must continue even during the war and crime continues too. The characters are real people and you care about what happens to them.
DCS Foyle is as good as it gets!

Each time you view an episode of Foyle's War, you will see something you had not quite seen before. The characters and historical story line are so tightly written and beautifully acted, they are timeless. When will Foyle get to America to settle his score?!
Great Series

Michael Kitchen is a great actor, and plays a fascinating character in this series. Not only are the mysteries interesting of themselves, but you get a real feel for the politics of the times, with the war going on.
Great actors, great stories!

We discovered this series on PBS, from the BBC by accident and were hooked by the characters, plots, and just the quality of the shows. After buying and thoroughly enjoying the first five seasons, we just had to have the last. We watched it while on vacation with our grown children who also became hooked. These are wonderful programs.
We Love Foyle and Want More!

I rented a Folye's War DVD from our library and noticed they were numbered. I searched online and found 19 episodes (I think) and we liked them so much that I searched for all to watch in order as it goes from the beginning of WWII to the end days in a small town in UK. We loved the characters and were sad to see the end. Then they came out with 3 more following the town after the war and I had to order than. We hope they left a place at the end to follow Foyle some more. We felt like they were our family and neighbors. Great Series!
Classic, inspiring and smart

The Foyle's War series is what television should be: entertaining, yes, but inspiring,which is rare. Makes you want to be like Foyle when faced with challenges -- an uncommon role model.

The Foyle's War series left off at the end of World War II. Since then, there have been indications that another series might be forthcoming that takes Foyle to the United States in search off at least one saboteur who got away. Haven't heard or read anything lately one way or the other. This particular series was not a gift, but a family friend has shared other Foyle DVDs with my wife and I over the years. I received no compensation or other emoluments for this review.

have loved the foyle's war series since I first saw it on PBS - am a bit of a WWII buff and love these movies. the characters are extremely well-developed and the stories just draw you in. the series is chronological, which is great - series #1 starts as the beginning of the war in england and series #6 is at the end. many of the stories are based on true historical situations and the DVDs also provide the backstory from which the movie was developed. highly recommend, but would also recommend getting series 1 through 5 as well only wish there was a series #7....
It's Terrifc!

We were thrilled to get a conclusion for this series. We simply love Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks, who brought these stories to life. Who needs to go to the movies when you can be entertained over and over at home, especially during these tough times. England survived the war, and we can take good lessons from this wonderful series.
