“The war is not just on the front line.”
Set during the Second World War, Foyle's War follows the quiet, methodical, and incorruptible Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle as he investigates crimes in the coastal town of Hastings, England. While the nation is preoccupied with the existential threat of Nazi Germany, Foyle must navigate the complexities of the home front, dealing with black marketeers, spies, murderers, and corrupt officials who believe the chaos of war provides the perfect cover for their illicit activities. Foyle is supported by his loyal driver, Samantha Stewart, and his sergeant, Paul Milner, a veteran wounded in the Battle of Norway. Together, they represent a moral compass in a world turned upside down by global conflict. As the series progresses, it moves into the post-war era, exploring the early tensions of the Cold War and the shifting political landscape of Britain, all while maintaining Foyle's signature pursuit of justice regardless of the social or political cost.
