Foyles War, Season 6, #1 - RUSSIAN HOUSE

BBC - TV Mystery Series
starring: Michael Kitchen; Anthony Howell; Honeysuckle Weeks; Julian Wadman; Ellie Haddington; Jay Simpson; Polly Maberly; Caroline Martin; Jay Benedict

sez says: this is not the best of "Foyle's War"-- the earlier seasons were excellent for the genre--and Michael Kitchen does an extraordinary job of creating this character--so it was with delight that we anticipated seeing him back --one more time-- on the job--now, after the war.  But this story about White Russians (who fought with the Germans in WW2) being mistreated after the war was not as good as most of the previous in the series. They even had to throw in a gun chase to try and spice it up--and it just didn't work. The characters are all in tact --but the story is really weak--better they didn't ring-dry a good thing--they should have let Foyle fade away with dignity. (Grade D+)
