DVD Reviews of Monarch of the Glen - Series Six
DVD Review: Still has its moments, but no longer great
Summary: 3 Stars
With series 6, the show continues what I feel is a gradual slide downward. Gone is the good natured humor and sense of "place" that made the first few seasons so special. Now, we're subjected to an hour of bickering and all-too-predictable misunderstandings and jealousy on top of continual romantic musical chairs.
Is there any place in the world that really has only unmarried people on the lookout for love? EVERYONE in the series now is single (and most are young and trim: no middle aged or heavy set people -- except those who serve as the comic relief and buffoons -- no happily married couples, no children, no community life.
And people sure do get over lost loves REAL fast! I thought Archie was fickle, but fist Golly is deeply dedicated and in love with Molly, then --in two episodes -- it's Meg. Paul loves Lex, then Isabel, then Susan. Jess forgets Duncan real fast when someone new appears.
Everytime a new character is introduced, you can spot immediately that he/she will be someone's love interest! Remember the show Hamish MacBeth? The variety of characters there was so much more interesting and 'real.'
Also, there is a complete lack of logic in the storylines. This HUGE estate, which is apparently involved in everything from raising wolves to offering an 'activity center', has almost no staff and no one seems to work!
Finally, the show has become, for the most part, "generic" in locale. Gone is the glimpse into Scottish clan life and history (hardly anyone even wears a kilt anymore!). Gone are the pipes and the "feel" of the country. Change their names from MacDonald to O'Reilly or Le Clerc and you'd never tell the difference.
Still, the show has its moments and I continue to watch in hopes that it will regain some of its past allure. And of course, I watch to see glorious shots of beautiful country and to listen to the most marvelous accents!
Description of Monarch of the Glen - Series Six
MONARCH OF THE GLEN:COMPLETE SERIES 6 - DVD MovieWhere Monarch of the Glen: Series Five introduced a number of significant changes to the story of life at Glenbogle estate, a paradise in the Scottish Highlands that belongs to the ancient MacDonald clan, Monarch of the Glen: Series Six begins settling into a different direction with a host of new characters. With the show?s original central character, Archie MacDonald (Alastair MacKenzie), now gone to New Zealand and off the series, the lairdship of Glenbogle has fallen to Archie?s half-brother, the illegitimate Paul Bowman (Lloyd Owen). Off to a bumpy start, Paul tends to alienate family members, support staff, and estate tenants with his cavalier attitude toward MacDonald traditions and the needs of people trying to work the land. Above all, he offends Glenbogle?s longtime ghillie (estate manager), Golly (Alexander Morton), and gets off on the wrong foot with Isobel (Simone Lahbib), a tenant whose small farm is under siege by an avaricious neighbor who wants the deed. All of these situations will smooth out over the course of Season Six?s ten episodes, but there will be many more crises popping up before the highly enjoyable and satisfying finale.
Among other things, Golly falls in love with a dance instructor and then loses her; Archie?s wife Lexie (Dawn Steele), unhappy in her marriage, returns temporarily to Glenbogle and comes perilously close to a romance with Paul; Paul?s uncle Donald MacDonald, black sheep of the clan, returns to Glenbogle after 40 years; Golly?s assistant, Duncan (Hamish Clark), entertains an invitation from Lexie to go to New Zealand and help Archie; and the seemingly unflappable Molly (Susan Hampshire), Archie?s mother, is disheartened by constant pressures within the family and her own loneliness. Longtime fans of Monarch of the Glen might find it takes a lot of adjustment to move on from the show?s wonderful early years, but the new and different Monarch ultimately proves its own worth. --Tom Keogh
