Monarch of the Glen (2000–2005)
6/10
Endeering and at times disappointing
18 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This doesn't contain spoilers... The only thing I will hint at about future episodes is what you can see for yourself: some actors and actresses left the show.

I was really drawn in by episode one. The character of Archie was very endearing. His older brother was supposed to inherit the glen and the castle, but something happened. After years away from home he has returned. As the new laird he has about 30,000 acres (as I remember) and a huge debt.

Many other endearing characters complete the cast for the first few seasons. However, the cast members that I most grew to like have left the show over the course of series three, four and five. After that I have not been able to watch. (I have watched a few other British television shows and find the same situation. Is it a budget issue that British actors do not have the incentive to stay?)

Overall, I loved the show. If I could accept the fact that my favorite characters came and went, I would remember this show very fondly.
