Foyle's War has been described by The Wall Street Journal as "a triumph from start to finish." Set along the South Coast of England in the 1940s, Foyle's War stars Michael Kitchen as the no-nonsense Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, the straightforward sleuth who fights his own battles on the home front while war rages across Europe.

Foyle's War: Series V features the final three episodes (Plan of Attack, Broken Souls, All Clear) of the series. It's April 1944, and victory is at hand for the Allies. But underneath the swell of anticipation and relief lurk resentment, recrimination and regret. A year has passed since DCS Foyle abruptly resigned from the Hastings Police, and his former colleagues are still struggling to adjust to life without him. While Foyle plods away on a writing project, Sergeant Paul Milner (Anthony Howell) is contemplating leaving the force and Samantha Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks) is at loose ends after having been fired by Foyle's replacement, the irascible DCS Meredith. A shocking act of violence forces Foyle out of retirement and Sam back into the driver's seat.
