The British TV series Foyle’s War (ITV 2002–2007, 2008–2015, developed by Anthony Horowitz) follows Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (played by Michael Kitchen) as he investigates various cases from 1940 to 1947 in the southern English town of Hastings and in London. The crimes he encounters range from murder, sabotage, and black marketeering to rape, bribery, and war profiteering. Foyle’s defining trait is his unwavering commitment to equality before the law, even when those responsible for critical wartime efforts beg him to overlook their offenses. The series primarily explores the question of how to handle crime during wartime, with several episodes featuring British Nazi sympathizers and German Nazis in key roles.
