  Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen), the sober yet heartening hero of the exemplary mystery series Foyle's War, isn't so much a reserved Englishman as he is an all-round minimalist. He might not approve of lavish praise for himself or Kitchen's sterling portrayal, but he's a man used to spinning gold from disappointment. Stuck investigating murders while lesser colleagues are given key intelligence posts to fight Hitler in 1940, a restless Foyle is faced with the brutal killing of a German woman in a coastal village. Was it misplaced revenge against all of Germany that did her in, a controversial family trust, or something else--something worse? While Foyle deliberates and stews in career frustration, he has a paradoxical, revivifying effect on several human casualties of war and on justice itself. This is a fine mystery with a welcome detective hero. --Tom Keogh

  By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and the wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable programme to a new high. "A Lesson in Murder" concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war hovers over everything and a home-front crisis makes heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh
