Absolutely the worst movie.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreA must watch. You will enjoy it. - Michael Kitchen( Christopher Foyle) Great actor, played a normal person trying to solve crimes. At times hindered by bureaucracy that was afraid of the outcome. - Honeysuckle Weeks(Samantha Stewart) A great actress, played a very person in a very simple and humble way. Hope you enjoy it as I did.
View MoreThis program is absolutely one of the best. Each episode is a complex multilayered plot where you can never be sure who has done what or why. The actors are superb, the sets range from quaint pubs to magnificent mansions and the writing is excellent. I have repeatedly noted events and places that I've read about later simply because of the historical accuracy of each episode. Foyle's War is the type of show that is much needed to demonstrate what great writing really is.
View MoreI was very pleasantly surprised to have found such a wonderful series. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode of all the seasons. It is a pleasure to be able to watch a well thought out story, performed by such gifted actors that made all their characters so thoroughly believable. Also, living in America, I find it SO very pleasurable to watch a show where everyone speaks such beautiful English and where, even the criminals behave as if they lived in a civilized society and where manners and culture are still observed and universally practiced. We just watched the last episode of the 2015 season on Netflix and I came online tonight to try to find out if there is a new 2016 season in the works. I realize that the cast has been together since 2002 and I am sure that their age and that of the show itself will be difficult to overlook but I/we sincerely hope that there will be another. Good show!
View MoreFrom the get-go, the message is clear: There is never an excuse strong enough for a failure to keep one's own moral keel level and steady; even active defense against an amoral foe. And this happens to be one of the strong messages from the Gospel. Time and time again Christ reminds us not to judge; and Foyle's War is a kind of sustained and subtly-hued metaphor that showcases this wisdom. The local, British malefactors act under a presumed cover of intense outwardly focused judgment of the Jerries; but Foyle steadfastly maintains the essential virtue of (as the Firesign Theatre put it!) "bringing the war back home."And that's the point of the show; that Foyle understands the vital role of this particular vigil, even as he runs a never-ending gamut of personality types who, for intentions good or ill, would if they could blunt Foyle's keen and morally attuned inner focus. Foyle *is* a foil, and that Christopher faithfully bears that particular aspect of the Christ, as England tries to survive the depredations of a determined war machine; depredations which aren't *just* material in nature.Above and beyond all this, it's a warm and welcome showcase for all kinds of moral success. In one episode, it even aspires to a storyline of psychic damage, tender ministrations, confrontation of demons, deep realization and catharsis, and emotional healing; worthy of the best of Freudian practicum.Whew! I haven't even gotten 'round to talking about production! And the production values square with what one has come to expect from the Brits: Sets, costuming, lighting, properties, casting, direction, editing, sound.... Really, there's nothing to fault, as far as I can tell. It's as though the producers agreed that the best hearts and minds had to brought to bear on such a bittersweet, timeless moral study.Check it out.
