Foyle's War VI

Tomorrow night on Masterpiece Mystery, the 2010 season begins with the debut of the highly anticipated series VI of Foyle's War, starring Michael Kitchen as Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle in his first post-World War II cases. I absolutely adore this show, everything about it from the acting, costumes and settings to the scripts and historical detail is top-notch. If you've never watched this show but love a good historical mystery, I highly recommend checking it out over the next three weeks - and if you find yourself intrigued, Netflix series I-V. Watching the characters develop over the course of the show is a fantastic experience. Kudos to creator and writer Anthony Horowitz for creating this program and for consistently delivering amazing stories - the man's a genius. Here's some info about the show's run this season on Masterpiece:

Now that the war is over in Europe, Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) finds he still has more battles to win in three gripping new 90-minute episodes. Tracking murderers, escapees and traitors, Foyle is joined by his former driver, Samantha "Sam" Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks), and his old sergeant, Paul Milner (Anthony Howell), recently promoted to detective inspector in nearby Brighton.
