Foyle's War: The Complete First Season covers the period of spring and summer in 1940. World War II has just begun and England looks doomed in the face of an inevitable German invasion. Still, someone has to fight crime on the home front and who better than Christopher Foyle? Michael Kitchen (Proof Of Life, Mrs Dalloway, The World Is Not Enough) stars as the charismatic detective in this drama series of mysteries.

The quietly enigmatic Foyle would much rather serve his country in the armed forces, but his superiors deem him indispensable for combating the heightening anarchy along England's south coast, where the German army is expected any day. Uncertainty, espionage, bombs and internment are the new facts of life for Foyle and those around him. Yet sometimes they merge with an old one of affluent England – murder.

Foyle's War: The Complete Second Season takes place as World War II rages over Europe and Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle continues to fight his own battle against murder, mystery and betrayal on the south coast of England. Although the beautiful countryside seems far from the glory of the front, Foyle's battle is an ordinary struggle against everyday evil in dangerous times.
