Foyle's War: Series 1-5 — From Dunkirk to VE-Day
Combining uncompromising historical accuracy with compelling mysteries, this award-winning British series created by Anthony Horowitz opens a unique window on a significant time and place.
Michael Kitchen stars as the laconic Christopher Foyle, detective chief superintendent in the English town of Hastings. As World War II ravages the social fabric of this once quiet coastal community, Foyle investigates crimes the conflict has fostered on the home front.
The 19 mysteries from the first five seasons in this collection follow the course of the war from 1940 to 1945, and also star Anthony Howell and Honeysuckle Weeks.
DVD Special Features include exclusive interviews with series writer and creator Anthony Horowitz and stars Anthony Howell and Honeysuckle Weeks, making-of documentaries, production notes, historical backgrounds, cast reflections, notes on a real-life Foyle, photo gallery, and cast filmographies.
OMN Editor's Note: We've seen every episode of this outstanding series at least twice. It is — in our opinion — quite possibly the best crime drama series ever produced.

Prime Suspect: The Complete Collection
Helen Mirren stars is Detective Jane Tennison in a series that won more than 20 major international awards and raised the bar for police dramas. Indeed, Mirren won multiple BAFTA and Emmy Awards for her performance.
Tenacious, driven, and deeply flawed, Tennison rises through the ranks of Britain's Metropolitan Police, solving horrific crimes while battling office sexism and her own demons. The series was created by Lynda La Plante, who also wrote the first and third episodes.
OMN Editor's Note: Our own Mr. E. reviewed this DVD set when it was first released in 2010, calling it "crime drama at its very best. Helen Mirren deserves most of the credit for making this series one of the most compelling ever filmed for television, but a first-rate supporting cast and high production values as well as generally solid scripts help hold viewers interest throughout its 15 year run."
