Foyle's War

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 8.4

Set on England’s south coast during and after World War II, the series follows a principled detective investigating murders, corruption, and other crimes amid wartime pressures. As circumstances change, his work later takes him into the uneasy world of postwar intelligence.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer thoughtful British mysteries, period drama, dry wit, and carefully developed characters, especially fans of Agatha Christie’s Poirot; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or simple cases.
