ThiefHott Too much of everything
Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
oompaloompawoman Hamish Macbeth was a fantastic show, with drama and humour. I disagree with klkoegler-1's comment about is being an imitation of Monarch, not least because Hamish PRECEDED Monarch by five years. Also, Hamish did not dwindle over the years to caricatured characters in a series that ran too long. Duncan was the real character of interest in Monarch, whereas all the characters had a central and interesting role in Hamish. Where would we be without TV John's premonitions, Lachie Jr and Snr's business dealings and attempts to help that rarely succeeded? Isobel left to become a person in her own right before she returned to the town, and man she loved. Hamish was about quality of life and the choices you make determining it. Monarch was about an eccentric family and their monetary problems - after Katrina left, where was the interest? Hamish could park his slippers under my bed any day of the week, and if not under mine I am glad they are (in TV land) under Isobel's!
yaelz10 In my country, Israel, there are few people who remember Haimish Macbeth series, which was on TV in about 1997. I admit I fell in love with him. I wish our channels will buy the series again, not just because of its great actor, but because of the story of the simple ones, like me. The simple people who strangle in life, each one has his own, their relationships, habits, friends, moral, love and work. Even in the Internet era, in the virtual relationships and friends in which the detached and cold atmosphere rules, we are all human beings eventually, who handle with beauty or charm, talent or life wisdom, effort and concentration, calm and smiles or all these above - our life, as Haimish. I thank you a lot for enlightening my eyes, because I didn't remember the are books this series is based on. I'll purchase and read. Thank You !
lady_rean Living in the southeast US, I didn't get to see this show until it was probably already canceled in the UK. It didn't matter to me, I watched every episode, and some of them more than once!!It's a shame that it had to end, I really enjoyed it that much. There was just enough "soap" to it to make you want to keep coming back, to see how the lingering story worked out, but every week, there was some new something that came to a conclusion. That made it that much better to watch. So many night-time soap-opera style shows are just continuous dramas which is just TOO much for me.If anyone ever knows anything about this being on DVD to purchase, I sure hope they will let me know, because I would be ordering a complete set!! :)
steventemplar I have just started watching this show because it is offered on satelite here in Japan. I love it, and enjoy the small-town characters and situations. I am of Scotish ancestry and enjoy seeing something of the countryside and Scotish people. Also, the acting is great and the characters are fun. Hamish MacBeth is played by the very talented Robert Carlyle. Hamish is the small-town police officer who is inter-twined with the town. He is part of the town yet has to be the law as well, which puts him into situations on occasion. The townfolk are great and well played. I wish that the show had more seasons than it did, but I am glad to have what I can get! If you are a fan of Scotland or small towns and mysteries, then you'll enjoy this one!
