Rarely has a TV show survived so many original cast departures and changes of focus to land on its feet with the grace of Monarch. With its final episodes putting a strong accent on a variety of overlapping love stories, it's impossible not to be moved by the program's strong emotions, especially a lovely series finale that includes an unexpected reappearance by one of Monarch's most beloved characters. Lloyd Owen triumphs, finally, as the series' leading man, Paul Bowman-MacDonald, the illegitimate son of the late Hector MacDonald (Richard Briers) and rightful Laird of Glenbogle castle and estate (in Series Five). Faced with Glenbogle's usual financial problems, Paul soldiers on, trying to keep the peace with restless tenants--who choose a spirited lass, Iona (Kirsty Mitchell) to be their new representative--while pumping ever more energy and resources into establishing Glenbogle as a destination site for tourists. Meanwhile, stoic Golly (Alexander Morton) comes to terms with raising an infant son alone, while his grown daughter, Jessica (Rae Hendrie), tries to find her place as her father's assistant and possible future wife of the oft-absent Duncan (Hamish Clark). Young Ewan (Martin Compston) has eyes for Paul's goddaughter, Amy (Kellyanne Farquhar), while Molly (Susan Hampshire) struggles with cash shortages, the excesses of brother-in-law Donald (Tom Baker), and the possibility of new love. Happily, friendly Kilwillie (Julian Fellowes) returns, more enamored with Molly than ever, while Paul himself falls for Iona--just when a prior suitor turns up to claim her as a wife. It's the usual confusion at Glenbogle, but the collective MacDonald heart is strong. Special features include a very nice documentary about the entire series, with a lot of input from so-called "Boglies," fans of all things Glenbogle. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Love this SeriesThe characters in this program began to feel like family. You are transported to another way of life and it's simply marvelous! Rating: - The End of an Era...I still have to watch this DVD ~ only because it is the final of seven years worth of programming and I am still catching up ~ but I feel I know enough of the series to give an opinion...I have been a fan of the show for several years, and being a Scot myself, I have a built-in affinity to the locale. The storyline is unique, with humor, drama, family relationships and mishaps, told with warmth and a wonderful backdrop of the Scottish highlands thrown in for good measure. The characters ...

I am now on the last season and hate to see it end. I highly recommend "Monarch of the Glen. Rating: - End of a seriesThis is the end of a very fine series that I enjoyed to the highest extent. Rating: - Well Done!As a fan of the show, I have shared in all the fortunes and mis-fortunes of the delightful characters of this enchanting highlands series. Each season was a delight, although season six was an adjustment... Season seven brought out the very best conclusion to the series to be had. I hated to see it go, but there had to be some form of conclusion and this ending series is a satisfying one. |
