This week’s installment of Foyle’s War shows off everything that makes the period detective drama outstanding: compelling characters, intelligent writing, and painstaking attention to historical detail. In a seaside British town just after World War II, Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle probes the case of a young man being tried for treason after joining the British Free Corps, a Nazi unit composed of British prisoners of war. Michael Kitchen gives another sly and subtle performance in the title role. Sunday, May 16, at 9 p.m., PBS; check local listings
