I can't think of many shows that end in sheer brilliance, but how fitting for a fabulous show like Foyle's War that it should end with an episode like Elise.
The transformation from war time murder mystery drama to John Le Carre styled thrillers has been incredible. When you watch the early episodes they have a very Agatha Christie/Midsomer Murders feel to them, please don't take that as a criticism, far from it, I love both, but the latter episodes are very different.
Elise deals with the shooting of Hilda, illegal trading, Police corruption, treachery, and of course spies.
Fantastic from start to finish, a fabulous story, superb production values, and incredible acting. Michael Kitchen as great as ever, he's been incredible throughout the show and signs off in style, loved his scenes with Honeysuckle Weeks. If I'm honest, the standout in this episode was Ellie Haddington, Hilda has been an interesting character, and grown in stature, in Elise she was very much centre stage, and performed expertly.
Such a quality episode, I always thought Foyle's War was intended as a replacement for Morse and Poirot. Thank goodness we at least have Endeavour.
Thanks Michael Kitchen and co. 10/10
