2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
gram_pam This series started out intriguing, with excellent story lines for endearing characters and captivating scenery. Then rather rudely, the series lets the viewer down with far too many KEY CHARACTER cast changes. Lost interest when I found out the "Main Man" of Lexie -- THE LAIRD himself, was not coming back. Didn't bother watching after that.
Jim Armstrong (pettyfog) Thing about streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon is you get hooked. Bad thing is that the characters' incongruities get amplified and so does the recycle of plot devices.This happens all the time in long series, but some deal better than others. An example of good handling is Last Tango in Halifax. The human foibles are logical and understandable.But 'Monarch..' is beginning to grate about the beginning of season five. The unrequited love gambit has hit every character in the group. Now that is stretching it, but the worst and most grating character has become 'Duncan'... the one character in the series who never seems to grow or learn anything from his bumbling fails.Sooner or later you're thinking he's stuck on stupid. A graduate of the Short Bus who MIGHT be able to graduate to driving it. This isn't the fault of the actor of course. It's the fault of the writers taking the easy way out.Still worth the watch for as long as you can take a key character who is a cardboard cutout.
L P Loved 'Monarch of the Glen' (MotG) through series/season 5! Series/season 6 is not bad, but as a fan of old 'Monarch,' I just couldn't completely enjoy watching past series/season 5... For others out there that need the old 'MotG' fix, consider giving Robert Carlyle & 'Hamish Macbeth' (1995-97), James Fleet & 'Brotherly Love' (2000), Paul Kaye & 'Two Thousand Acres of Skye' (2001-03), Martin Clunes & 'Doc Martin' (2004-), Stephen Fry & 'Kingdom' (2007-09), or Bridie Carter and 'Mcleods Daughters' (2001-09) a try. Also consider the films: 'The Angels Share' (2012), 'Tamara Drewe' (2010), 'Aberdeen' (2000), 'Local Hero' (1983), 'Saving Grace' (2000), 'Hear My Song' (1991), 'Hard Times' (2000), 'An Everlasting Piece' (2000), 'Keeping Mum' (2005), 'Greenfingers' (2000), 'The Commitments' (1991), 'Made in Dagenham' (2010), 'Whiskey Galore' (1949), 'Quartet' (2012), 'Death at a Funeral' (2007), 'The Closer You Get' (2000), 'The Baker' (2007), 'The Van' (1996), 'How About You…' (2007), 'Leap Year' (2010), & 'The Stone of Destiny' (2008).
Andrew_S_Hatton I missed it when it was first showed although had dipped in to bits of episodes and previously thought it was promising however, now I have watched all the first episode and half of the second, I have given up with it.Good production, talented actors and a basically interesting plot is spoiled by unbelievable script that makes the characters seem ridiculous.I am not surprised it could not retain it's cast, and presume they all quickly realised it is utter tosh.If you watch it, please do not believe it has much basis in reality.It is however filmed in a very attractive part of Scotland and might have been sponsored by the Tourist Industry.
