Even better

"The second season of MONARCH is just as good as, if not better, than the first. This is one of those rare series where you care about every single character, so no matter which character is the focus of the episode you are right there rooting for them. Hector is as cantakerous and lovable as ever, and even surprising at one point. Molly is another surprise, as usual, shrewd one minute and air-headed the next. When she is around, you know everything will be all right. Archie, one of the few sane ones in the bunch, struggles and stumbles along, like most of us. The romantic obstacles get to be a bit much between him and his love interest(s). I guess they would have been easier to take once a week than all at once. All the 'supporting players' are strong enough to be the stars of the show, and sometimes they are. And there are some new people added in. I especially like the expansions into the village. It rounds out the story, placing it in a larger context. These are people you would love to know, to be friends with and to revisit over and over, which is why this DVD, along with its first season, is a definite keeper."

Great start, now what about the rest?!

"Ugh, such a wait we've had to endure to get the first two series of this fantastic show on DVD... However, undecided reader that I assume you are, did you notice that ONLY Series 1 is available on VHS and the DVD versions of the show stops at Series 2? It's not Amazon's fault, who has done a fantastic job of supplying our show to us... No, this is because BBC Video, the US media producer of BBC programs has not released the show beyond Series 2. However, you know from reading my dear friend Megan's review that the BBC is in the process of filming Series SIX of the show! What's the hold up? We don't know, to be honest. Perhaps we need to TELL our supplier (and Amazon's supplier, who I thank heartily for selling BELOW other's prices, especially if you PRE-order) that we are getting TIRED of WAITING for them to release a season's worth of episodes that were filmed nearly FOUR YEARS AGO!

Oh, right, the actual review.... Five stars times seven..no wait, EIGHT main characters times eight episodes times four (the number of years we had to wait for this to be released) and I give this DVD of Monarch of the Glen Series 2 a grand total of one thousand, two hundred eighty stars.

However..... This is still NOT my favorite series (season) of the show. THAT would be series 3. Just wait until you see how many stars I give that one! ;D"

WHERE IS THE THIRD!!

"This show is AMAZING!! It is one of the best shows I have ever seen my only question is where is the third and fourth season. I need them for my sanity. Well I hope you have a good day :)

"This British series is fantastic! I can't wait for season 3 and 4 to be sold in America. It is very funny, has romance, beautiful scenery, great characters that you get to know in depth. People of all ages will love it. My college age niece, my 80 year old mother, myself, my brother-in-law and sister all enjoyed watching it equally. Now that is something ot talk about! I wish they would show this series on A and E TV so more people would be exposed. It ranks up there with my favorite miniseries, "Pride and Prejudice"."
