[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6812862, member: 12731"] Its Foyle's War, as the character is named Christopher Foyle. And yes, it's good [emoji4] One big point of it is to work in otherwise obscure WWII events into the narrative, and of course chronicle how the war impacted the British populace. It brings up themes like British girl meets American soldier, the way citizens with German heritage became intensely distrusted, the way secrecy and treason could ruin people's lives, how to live on as a war cripple, getting your first real job as a woman, and so on... It is very British and so a little slow, but it is rather thorough in its world-building. Michael Kitchener and Honeysuckle Weeks are the two stand-out performances if you ask me. And the British countryside of course, but I guess that goes without saying for all British detective shows... [emoji3] [/QUOTE]
