Arresting Conclusion to the Series
Scotsman | WY United States | 10/30/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Hamish Macbeth is a tremendous series. I am sadden, however, by the fact that there is only the three seasons. This is the third in the series and the shows presented here have quite the serious tone to them compared the the first two seasons. The highland humour is still present as the undergirding for the shows but much of what is here is just good drama. We get to see a side of Hamish, and the other characters, that weren't so obvious before. The season does go out on a high, but slightly weird, note regarding two of the characters' relationship as well as a shocking premonition coming true. This is a must have for all fans of the good folks in the wee village of Lochdubh."
My wife and I rate the Hamish MacBeth 10 Star

"We like these programs very, very much. They incite all our emotions; from humor to tears and the story line is cohesive but varies from show to show and is never tiresome, old or predictable. Sometimes the heavy Scottish brogue is hard to catch but mostly what little of the chat that I don't understand is not vital to following the story. The Scottish scenery and towns are beautiful, the variety of personalities are charming and, except for a villain, lovable, entertaining, and unforgettable."
Sorry it had to end

"The third and final season of Hamish MacBeth wraps up the storylines and characters we've come to know in wild fashion. The series should have lasted longer. Robert Carlyle (PC MacBeth) is an outstanding actor and, if there was any justice, he'd be getting big parts in great movies."
Hamish Macbeth DVD

"While the DVD's are very enjoyable, they are disappointing to someone who has enjoyed the novels. Outside of the title, they have very little to do with M.C. Beatons books, so don't look for the residents of Lochdubh or even Hamishs girlfriends. Cute is about all I can say, a pleasant watch"
