Series 6 Foyles War, 2010-05-07Congratulations is in order for continuing the outstanding detective series Foyles War.
When I first noticed the program guide, PBS was going to air a Foyles War episode. Even though I have the DVD series 1-5, it never dawned on me that this was a new episode and yet I still recorded it for a later viewing date.
I believe England has the best detective stories including wonderful acting. My favorite series is because of the calm, soft spoken and charming character of Michael Kitchen. His simple approach while answering a question or questioning another weather a subordinate, a superior or a next door neighbor is a tilt of the head proffered by a simple smile. This series is impossible without Kitchen.
When I reviewed my DVD collection prior to going to bed the next evening, I noticed that YES. the episode I had recorded was indeed a new episode and simply did not wait. So I'm going to bed 100 minutes later. It was so worth it.
As a Yank, I do at times have to play back a few scenes where the British accent or wording of perhaps some metaphor that is difficult to understand.
There were three items to me that were brilliant. Not to spoil your enjoyment but two of them were the words spoken by DCS Foyle to a proud jr. detective and then once again the simple yet powerful diction later in the episode to his former male employee.
One last thing, perhaps speculation on my part. If this series is continued and is received well, did anyone pick up the possibility of the encouraging sign from Foyle's answer to Sam when she asks him about retirement or did that go over your head?
