Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
ladybug2535 I was highly entertained by this program. While the episodes weren't particularly difficult brain teasers, the mysteries were adequately engaging and intriguing while the characters well drawn with logical motives (generally explained at the end). I liked that the show avoided obvious red herrings, and didn't try to "trick" the viewers with hidden clues; though sometimes the guilty party was a bit too easy to figure out (and sometimes too early which can spoil the progress of the story line), while our amateur sleuths were still stumbling about--nonetheless a fun exercise for us armchair detectives.I really enjoyed the main characters. I thought they were well-matched and eccentric enough to be interesting without being too annoying. The guest characters were all pretty well fleshed out as well, which helped the show a great deal. I thought the fact that they were gardeners was a unique hook that gave them reasonable access to the nooks and crannies of the parks and residences they were investigating, as well as a somewhat plausible excuse for stumbling over so many bodies. If you dig deep enough, wide enough and in enough places, you're bound to come up with something....I was lucky enough to be able to binge watch all three seasons--which offers both pros and cons. The unlikelihood of these two women constantly becoming embroiled in a new murder mystery each week becomes much less plausible when you watch the shows back to back like I did, but then that's the case with any program of this nature. The bickering between the two main characters also became a bit more annoying than if the episodes had been watched a week apart--but I can hardly fault the program for the way I decided to devour three seasons in one go.The fact that the program managed to keep me involved and guessing right along with the cast for the full three seasons is a compliment to the writers. It can't be easy to come up with unique murder mysteries for that many episodes, yet they did manage to avoid feeling repetitious for the most part. I even managed to learn a bit about plants and gardening that I hadn't known. Good job! In all honesty, while I understand why many people would be disappointed by the cancellation of this program, after 3 seasons it had started to feel a bit stale. Again, though, if I was watching it as it had aired weekly with summer breaks or whatever, I may not have felt that way at all, so take this opinion for what it deserves. Overall an entertaining program worth a go!
Jordan Hutton A few months back I caught this on a repeat and decided I liked it enough to buy the complete collection on DVD - and very glad I did! This series is an excellent light-hearted mystery show suitable for the majority of audiences. I have watched a good deal of crime and mystery television - and while many shows out there are more 'groundbreaking' than Rosemary and Thyme: it must be said that this show is excellent fun - it doesn't take itself seriously and the two main characters: Rosemary Boxer (Felicity Kendal) and Laura Thyme (Pam Ferris) are great fun to watch and make for an excellent team. It's a huge shame that ITV decided to cancel this series before series 4 began as this was an amazing show and I loved watching every minute of it.
hmlphoenix This is a wonderful show with two great actresses. The show is clean, no guts and gore, and the scenery is spectacular. Not all episodes take place just in the UK. Some episodes are shot in Spain and Italy with equally spectacular scenery. I would recommend watching the first episode to start, simply to establish the relationship between the two women and to learn their backgrounds. In each episode you can learn a little about gardening, have a laugh, and enjoy a decent mystery. If you are a fan of British mysteries and want to try something without the swearing, violence, and sex that you find in other TV shows, I would strongly recommend Rosemary & Thyme. I wish they would make more, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
momosherry Most of the reviewers here said everything that I could and would say about this series, so I won't be repetitious. I would like to add that I am a strong admirer of most TV shows and movies which emanate from the UK. I don't know why, but they almost always have "meat" to them; and the comedy series are The Best. As for Rosemary & Thyme, I look forward to this show each week--it is like settling down with a good book, a warm afghan and a great cup of tea. I really do love this series; Pam and Felicity are superb in their roles. They make me feel as though I wish they were friends of mine! The locations, too, are just breathtaking.
