Reminder to myself: Foyle's War starts on Masterpiece tomorrow (Sunday) night.
And, sadly, this is the last series for the show (*). I've got a love/hate relationship with the British/European/Non-USA method of doing fewer episodes of a season/series. On one hand, it does help keep the quality of the writing up. On the other hand, there's less of a good show to enjoy. Take Foyle's War - Series 4 and 5 were 2 episodes each (and were shown together as Series 4 here in the US). Can you imagine a Hollywood series with a 2-episode season?
Either way, Foyle's War is a remarkably good series from Britain, and they've put a lot of work into the historical accuracy of the stories. Plus, Michael Kitchen is always enjoyable to watch. Now if PBS would stop trimming bits of the story to fit the show into a time slot.
(*) The Wikipedia article says that there are negotiations going on regarding more episodes. If they can make more episodes of the Sharpe series, 15-odd years later, I hope they can make a few more hours of Foyle. Good shows are hard to find these days.
