High Castle

Foyle's War returns for an eighth and final series, now in the guise of an espionage thriller series.

It's a complex story, surrounding the dealings of a corrupt Nazi businessman.

This is an episode of immense quality, it's a terrific story, a complex and intriguing plot, and boasts a terrific set of characters. It's also a glimpse into the future, the importance of oil right across the world.

It's very clever, it has some great tension, and it's also a particularly great episode for San and her husband, both have sizeable parts.

Excellent. 9/10

As usual, a wonderful glimpse into another time, with Foyle demonstrating the best of human nature. My only complaint is with the portrayal of the Clayton delMar character. His attempt at an American accent and demeanor is very distracting to the story and inaccurate to the extent this story reflects the activities of Standard Oil Company. Note to British actors/casting directors: most Americans do not affect a Texas accent and swagger. In this episode, it would have been more accurate for delMar (as the son of a rich industrialist based in New York) to have the "General American" accent. I watch a great deal of British-based television and it makes me a little mental that the Texas accent is the "go to" form.

This episode is loaded with spy versus spy implications. It involves a man who has the skills to negotiate for Iranian oil. He is an evil man who is taking over his father's petroleum business, but who has no sense of morality. He is willing to step on anyone who gets in his way. His father (actually, the man who played Frazier Crane's father on that show) is an invalid and knows what his son is doing. In his own day he probably left a few bodies scattered around. Sam and her new husband aren't seeing eye to eye on the rights of women (though it is exacerbated by her pregnancy). She finds her husband in the arms of a female constituent who has asked for help and runs of in a huff. He was merely consoling her. She then takes a job, spying on the oil guy be reading to his father and then snooping around. At times it's hard to know the good guys from the bad. Foyle has become a pain in the ass of the leader of the investigative group he is working for. Of course, he will land on his feet, but it isn't always that's simple.

I love Foyle's War and gave it 9 but must point out that whisky barrels would never have been left spaced apart and unsecured on a ship that was set to sail. Must be the fourth time we've watched this one.
