Season 8, Episode 1
8/10
Love, love the show, but....
2 August 2016
As usual, a wonderful glimpse into another time, with Foyle demonstrating the best of human nature. My only complaint is with the portrayal of the Clayton delMar character. His attempt at an American accent and demeanor is very distracting to the story and inaccurate to the extent this story reflects the activities of Standard Oil Company. Note to British actors/casting directors: most Americans do not affect a Texas accent and swagger. In this episode, it would have been more accurate for delMar (as the son of a rich industrialist based in New York) to have the "General American" accent. I watch a great deal of British-based television and it makes me a little mental that the Texas accent is the "go to" form.
