Amazon.co.uk Review

Hamish Macbeth may technically be a British mystery series, but the quirky BBC show, set in Scotland, is more Local Hero meets Northern Exposure than Miss Marple, as series 2 shows. The residents of tiny Lochdubh, Scotland, are an eccentric bunch, and actor Robert Carlyle, for better or worse, is the town's sole lawman/sheriff. Carlyle is in prime deadpan form in the role of Hamish Macbeth, who presides over the crimes and just plain weird happenings of the burgh. The series, based on characters created by M.C. Beaton, doesn't always even seem to feature a mystery, until the final moments of an episode, as in "A Perfectly Simple Explanation." The episode features slightly manic members of a fundamentalist sect, the Church of the Stony Path, and Hamish comes under their fire-and-brimstone curses for living out of wedlock with his insecure girlfriend, Alex. Then there's the new age cult leader who conducts his conversations on a particularly sloshy waterbed. The oddball characters come and go, and somewhere, woven around their interactions, is a plot that becomes strangely satisfying by an episode's finale, but which is not at all the reason for watching. The steadfast but affectionate take on the residents' quirkiness is compulsively addictive, and Carlyle proves again what a talented, multifaceted actor he is. As the blustery minister shrieks at Macbeth about the sin and wantonness of his town, Carlyle never lets Macbeth show he's ruffled. "If the Lord thinks so much of you," he says, when the reverend pauses to catch his breath, "then why is He lettin' me dog wee on your leg?" Visit Lochdubh and you'll likely never want to leave. --A.T. Hurley


Synopsis

This is the second series of the television drama set in the Northern Scottish town of Lochdubh, where the local police constable Hamish Macbeth has a knack for attracting trouble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hamish is back!, 31 Jan 2006
By mrs lynda mcbride (belfast, down United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Just watched the last of these six episodes and can't wait until April to get series 3! Brilliant acting, scenery and story lines. They definitely don't make them like they used to! If you haven't bought this you are missing out, highly recommended*****

5.0 out of 5 stars Roll on April and Series 3!, 15 Mar 2006
By Rebecca Taylor "Bex" (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The second series of Hamish Macbeth has all the elements we have come to know and love from the programme - humour, drama, and brilliant performances from the whole cast. This series has as many poignant moments as funny ones, often juxtaposed. However, what sets Hamish Macbeth apart from its imitators is its sheer quality. If you liked the first series then you will love this one, and I highly recommend it.
