Foyle's War (2002)

Foyle's War features LGBTQ+ characters, notably in 'The Eternity Ring,' where a gay man is portrayed with dignity and complexity. The narrative critically examines the historical prejudice and legal challenges faced by gay individuals, framing societal intolerance as the primary antagonist. This empathetic approach, which affirms the worth of queer lives despite external adversity, results in a net positive portrayal.

The series consistently portrays Christian morality and institutions with respect, often using them as a moral compass against the backdrop of war. While individual Christian characters may be flawed, the narrative condemns their hypocrisy rather than the faith itself, frequently highlighting the positive role of faith in providing guidance and community.

The show portrays Judaism and Jewish characters with profound sympathy and respect, particularly in the context of wartime persecution and antisemitism. The narrative unequivocally condemns bigotry against Jewish people, positioning the audience to empathize with their struggles and resilience.
