Monarch of the Glen - Series Six

Don't think of "Monarch of the Glen" as another upper-class drama, but as a look at a family struggling with day-to-day affairs over the years. For the MacDonald clan are more of a blue-collar family that admittedly own an impressive amount of land, but still struggle with making ends meet, paying taxes, fixing a crumbling, old mansion and more. Probably the best part of this show is watching the family deal with love and relationships, the passing of friends and family and of course, dealing with some cranky, goofy and endearing relations and friends. If nothing else, the scenery and music make this show something not to be missed.

Series 6 had some negative reports largely based on the changing charactors and themes. I found that it did indeed lack some of the spark from the original cast we had all grown to love, however the new charactors offered some additionl flavor. The elements of the series that have made it great remain. New scenes and locations were introduced and we see different sides to the old charactors that are consistent with the ageing process. As Americans we may not have the patience for reality seeping into our ideal world - but I appreciate a series with the courage to deal with these subjects. I found the DVD quality of series one through three poor but this has been corrected in the Series six copy.

series have to buy all to know the story line

My entire family enjoys this series and we all watch it together. If you like a rather sweet tale with gentle humour, set in beautiful Scotland, this is the one for you. One becomes very attached to the characters. I have purchased the entire series now, and am glad that I did as we can re-watch it over and over when feeling low. Some accents are difficult to understand, but you get the swing of it pretty quickly. The DVD arrived quickly and was well priced. Another successful purchase from Amazon.

I've been watchig Monach of the Glen on BBCA but would only get to see bits and pieces. By ordering the seasons of the show, I was able to see how the charactors I knew and how they evolve. I just loved the story lines and the history and the conpanionship of the entire group.By season six, some of the charactors had moved on, some new ones had been introduced and people like "Golly" are forever part of the show.Love the show, but knowing I have only one more season makes me sad.

I had originally watched the series (minus the last season) on prime instant video. But - boo hoo - no Season 7 (the last one). So I bought that, got things tied up (happy endings for all), and realized it's a series I will watch more than once. SO........am watching for the other seasons to hit low prices (entire 7-season series is available as a boxed set now, but pricy), to purchase, and this one did. No hurry - I'll find the rest some day.

What I get for trying to save a few bucks by ordering a used disc set.Most of the episodes would not play at all. Those that would skipped.Wasted my time and money.

The item arrived when it was supposed to. The item plays fine in the player. There was one disk that had some lose and was mving around in the case, but it does not seem to be scratched up bad enough to effect it playing.

Some friends and I have been watching this once a month for quite a while and we all enjoy it immensely. We watch two episodes at a time and it has been great fun.
