michael kitchen be simply outstanding there be no other word for it . the three series i have see be a model of understatement . the support cast be excellent . in series 2 and 3 foyle appear a a more self confident man and and therefore i prefer by a small margin the first series and where he seem less sure of himself and less ready to brook authority . there be a tendency in the plot for foyle to reveal the complicated machination of each case in the last few minute with what can sometimes appear to be astonish insight and but this be a minor quibble . well worth see and re seeing .
