9/10

Genuinely terrifying.

Bad Blood is in my opinion the darkest, most utterly bleak episode of Foyle's War. Chemical warfare is the dirtiest, most cruel act of warfare, so indiscriminate, so merciless, and they play on that here, even poor Sam doesn't escape.

The story as always is compelling, the cast utterly brilliant. It's a big story for Sam, romance and near death. Also a big story for Foyle, as he is forced to deal with a counterpart in another region.

There is a terrific scene at the end between Foyle and Sam, it's both funny and touching, it shows the true chemistry the duo shared on screen.

This always gives me the chills, it is fantastic. 9/10
