DVD Reviews of Monarch of the Glen - The Complete Series 1 & 2
DVD Review: Top-notch whimsical drama from Scotland
Summary: 5 Stars
Monarch of the Glen is an incredibly solid, well-crafted series from BBC Scotland, and the first two seasons are exactly where a newcomer should begin. Although the individual episodes are self-contained (and usually include multiple storylines), there is a strong continuity among the characters that requires chronological viewing. Series one is the slower of the two here, with so many characters to be introduced and established, but the momentum builds and by series two events are really bouncing along at Glenbogle, the fictitious (but built on solid foundations) Highland estate of young Archie MacDonald. And series three and four are even better.
Impeccably scripted and performed, MOTG brings us the (mis)adventures and troubled relationships of the MacDonald family of Glenbogle plus their assorted friends, families, retainers, and interlopers. Each episode lasts less than an hour, but they are so tightly written and fast-paced that you feel you've watched a full-length feature film every time. This is quality stuff, folks, chock-full of bittersweet romance, generational conflict, the struggle to balance traditional virtues in a modern world, and classic British eccentricity on parade. Richard Briers and Susan Hampshire are particularly marvelous as the doting (and dotty) Hector and Molly MacDonald, Laird and Lady of Glenbogle, but the show revolves around their son Archie (Alastair Mackenzie) and his pursuit of the woman of his dreams (whoever she may be) along with elusive financial solvency for the aging estate. Each episode brings Archie new challenges on both fronts. Can he possibly sort out his love life before his parents drive him crazy? Will Glenbogle again escape the grasping claws of creditors, tax-assessors, and meddling politicians? Will Lord Kilwillie ever manage to boast of the "Tallest Tree in Scotland" or make off with Hector's prize cask of single-malt whisky? The terrific supporting cast and guest stars make this show a treat for any Scot-ophile, and the scenery will make you want to plan your next vacation in the Highlands. Charming as a day in Brigadoon, without the Clan Bogus kitsch.
