Detektyw Foyle Eagle Day (2002–2015) watch online HD

Loved 'Foyle's War' and was immediately hooked when first getting into it. Love it even more now, on re-watches things that didn't quite make sense at first are clearer and things that were not noticed or appreciated before are and much admired. Everything that came over as brilliant on first viewings still are brilliant on re-watches.

"Eagle Day" is another great episode if not quite on the same brilliant level of the previous three episodes. A couple of parts could have been explained with a little more clarity and detail and occasionally it's a little reliant on coincidence. Everything however that was so good about the previous three episodes are in evidence here in "Eagle Day" nonetheless. Again, on re-watch there was much more appreciation had for how well established the character development, tone and themes are for so early on. The story is as ever a complicated one (didn't find it over-complicated personally) but also a very compelling and clever one where the surprises keep coming with carefully measured twists and turns. As one can expect from 'Foyle's War' the denouement is not an expected or obvious one and rings true.

Have always admired the visual detail that went into 'Foyle's War' and how high quality the production values are, with beautiful costumes, the evocative way the characters are made up, the look of the houses and cars, pretty locations and authentic-looking scenery. One mustn't forget the wonderful spitfire flying sequences. The music is in keeping with the mood and doesn't overpower the drama while still making an impact.

Writing is intelligent, sophisticated and thought-provoking, establishing Foyle's personality with so much depth already and providing some tense and heart-tugging moments. The story is complicated, with a lot of strands that requires full attention, but clever and from start to finish intriguing. To me the Andrew and Sam subplots were very well done and gave the episode heart and the characters depth. It paces itself deliberately but with so much going on it's never once dull.

One thing that wasn't picked up by me but now is and admired hugely is the tackling of what was seen as truths but some really misconceptions and seeing British during the war in a new light. This was a bold move and dealt with a lot of honesty and tact. The background information is so well researched and is every bit as interesting as the mystery itself. The character tensions were also handled very well and added a lot of intrigue.

Michael Kitchen is truly superb as Foyle, subtle, intensely determined, commanding and above all human. One of the most interesting television detectives there's ever been and Kitchen has rarely been better. Honeysuckle Weeks is charming and loyal, with some nice touches of subtle humour as ever, and Anthony Howell is wonderful, his character development resonating touchingly.

The supporting cast are more than up to their level. The ever dependable Robert Calf and particularly Roger Allam are excellent, and Julian Ovendon comes into his own as Andrew.

In summary, great. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The Germans do a bombing run and when a collapsed building is combed, a man is found with a knife in his chest. It appears that he was not killed in the explosion but rather, murdered. His wife admits to having had an affair. She is filled with guilt. Meanwhile, Foyle's son, a pilot for the RAF, instead of getting his own assignment to fly into battle is put into a test pilot program, using experimental jets. The problem is that while he is doing this heroic work for the war effort, he can't tell anyone what he is doing. As a matter of fact, he comes under suspicion for spying (this, of course, is not true, but he is being vilified by some overzealous brass). The effort to explain the stabbing and the incarceration of his son become the two principle problems Foyle must deal with. There are levels of authority that must be dealt with and, of course, they are unyielding in their tunnel vision way. A separate issue has to do with the shortsightedness of a minister father, trying to diminish the importance of the young woman who is Foyle's driver. I liked this episode.

During a German air raid, the body of lorry driver Graham Davies is found inside a bombed out house, but he has been stabbed. Davies had been involved in transporting valuable artwork to Wales for safekeeping.

When Samantha's preacher father comes down to take her back home because he thinks her job is too dangerous, he inadvertently identifies a valuable statue which leads Foyle to believe that Davies may had been involved in hiding some of the artwork for profit.

Foyle's son Andrew also returns. He is a test pilot for the RAF by flying without being detected by radar. However after an incident Andrew thinks someone was trying to kill him and he is then later arrested for passing military secrets.

Foyle ends up investigating two deaths as well as trying to get his son released. Foyle discovers that one of the victim's was linked with his son's assignment.

A busy and in some ways convoluted episode which I felt was rather too neatly resolved. Even the Reverend was happy to leave his daughter working for Foyle when he started off being so abrasive and rather pig headed.

Goood story, but a shame that one of the main charactors, Wing Commander Graeme, played by Roger Allam, was missed from the credits.

August 1940 and Foyle solves murders, an art theft, a suicide, and tracks down his son who is imprisoned because he is suspected of spying, when assigned to a secret unit developing and testing improved Radar systems.

A pretty good episode of this excellent series. A good supporting cast including Anton Lesser, Roger Allam, and Stephen Moore. ( BTW if you are wondering why Stephen Moore's voice might seem so familiar, he was in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)

If you are a WWII buff you will undoubtedly spot various historical inaccuracies, but for the average viewer these won't be apparent. However I did notice that the Spitfire seen in most of the scenes didn't seem quite right for the era; it is actually a Mk IX that saw service in 1943, with cannons, a more powerful Merlin engine in a longer nose, with extra radiators and a two-stage supercharger etc. , none of which were current in august 1940.

Lots of strands to this plot but overall a very enjoyable episode.

I've been watching the first year of Foyle's War on DVD and am very impressed. Love the stories, love the characters, great acting, great sense of actually being there in the early days of the war in Britain.

But this one I do not like. It's too complicated! There are too many threads that just barely connect, and too many coincidences. I'm not going to say much more as I don't want to reveal any spoilers.

The story opens with the murder of a man who drives a truck (lory). It develops that he was hired to drive art masterpieces from a museum in London to a safe hiding place in Wales. But is that why he was murdered?

Immediately a second plot begins with Foyle's son Andrew flying some missions to help the RAF test its radar. It was neat to see how important radar was to the success of the British air force. I do love the history that one learns in these stories. But Andrew soon gets into some trouble with his superiors at this secret base. It seems to have something to do with an old college friend of his, who apparently is being shadowed by someone. Who? And what has that to do with the art museum masterpieces?

Throw in another subplot about Samantha's father, and you've got quite a complicated story.
