Review of Sunflower

Foyle's War: Sunflower (2013)
Season 7, Episode 3
Good but sad but also happy
20 October 2015
I want to say Foyle's War is a great series. Michael Kitchen/Foyle and his driver Honeysuckle Weeks/Sam are such good actors. It shows how a honest police man is investigating criminals and arresting them but war is on at this time and the military won't let him do his job.

This is a story like many others where the British protect war terrorist and killers so they can get information out of them by protecting them, giving them a different name and safe housing.

Sunflower is a field where many Americans were murdered and the man that ordered the murders is a Nazi but a confidant of the British who want to protect him from arrest from the Americans or retribution from the people he hurt.

There is a lot going on in this episode a high ranking man has a plot of land surveyed and orders the surveyor to double the price it is worth so the original owner does not buy it back. He claims his intentions are good but Sam's husband Mr Wainwright thinks his boss committed fraud and calls him out on it.

In the end Foyle goes against a lot of higher ups who have been protecting this Nazi that is given the British some of the Nazi secrets.

Foyle is kind of sad but knows he did the right thing. Sam on the other hand is pregnant and tells her husband. They are both surprised and happy.

It breaks my heart in many of the BBC stories there are so many secret agencies that are against each other protecting killers in war just to get them to give them information. To me this is a double slap in the face for victims of war.
