there be really nothing with which to compare this episodic series . the pacing and the acting and and the plot blend to create a superb fictional experience . i find very and very little to like in today movie ( no country for old men be an exception ) and much more to like on television and which i understand his heresy to some and but six foot under and doctor findlay and morse and midsomer murder and the shield etc . far surpass any movie i have see in a long time . this show in particular show what can be do in cinema but not in write very and very unique . see foyle and his driver and his immediate subordinate act their part really help make this a fine viewing experience . kitchen and play the lead and be a fine actor and performs admirably and but the writing be what make this show horowitz and the writer and creator and never varies from show to show . he control the unfolding of this show and without the viewer have to worry about different writer muddle the water . i highly recommend this show and would urge viewer to watch the series sequentially and start and of course with the first episode .
