Rosemary & Thyme - Series Three

Enjoyed season 1 & 2 better ...

I have the other two series on DVD but this one left me a little lost. I'm not sure why. Over the Summer I'm going to make a concerted effort to re-watch the third season to see if it gels for me as well as S1 and S2.

Truth be told, I simply enjoyed the other two seasons much better than this one. I love the two leading ladies and enjoy their characterizations, but the other characters were lacking in a way that didn't draw me in. As a premise, two ladies coming into my life to help me fix my garden(s) -- large or small -- requires me, as a supporting character, to be a strong foil; it's my job as a supporting role to make them look good.

Well, in this third series, I don't think the supporting characters make the ladies look good. June 28, 2008

As Usual: Great Brit Mystery

I love this series. Often I think, why, oh why cannot the U.S.
put on great mysteries.
In this Set: Enter Two Gardners; The Cup of Silence; Three Legs Good;
The Gooseberry Bush, Racquet Espanol; In a Monastary Garden ;
Seeds of Times and Agua Cadavar. I have heard this series was
stopped at Set 3. I hope not as I would love to see more. May 15, 2008

Rosemary & Thyme - Series Three
Totally fun and the gardens are beautiful. I love british mysteries. I make a pot of tea Brown Betty 6 Cup Tea Pot - Made in England Not China] using my electric kettle[[ASIN:B000FKV9DM Chef's Choice 678 Cordless Electric Kettleand real English cup and saucerRoyal Worcester Evesham Gold Porcelain 8-Ounce Tea Cup and Saucerand sit back and enjoy this engaging couple of unlikely sleuths. Felicity Kendal & Pam Ferris do their best to keep the stories moving forward, but lets face it , these stories are really far fetched, mostly predictable and just plain silly most of the time. If you really don't need P.D. James to enjoy a British mystery, you just love the whole experience , then this series will not disappoint. Series three is more of one and two. If I had written the series I would have developed the characters more, we learn very little about Rosemary & Laura's lives, well I still love the series and I hope you give it a look.

Who needs a plot?

I agree with C. O. DeReimer that the gardens are beautiful. While the Laura Thyme character has a certain charm, Kendall's Rosemary is a joy to watch. After "nearly sixty years" on stage and screen, I think her youthful vitality still shines brightly and makes the whole series worth watching.

My wife and I have yet to figure out the plot on any of them. Sorting out relationships between characters is a full-time job. Heck, who needs to understand the episode? Relax and enjoy the beauty of the settings and the warmth of the leading ladies. November 2, 2007

Rosemary & Thyme

I have purchased all three of the seasons as they are the only seasons that were made.If you like mystery,gardening and middle-aged English ladies then you will love these DVDs. I find that I watch them over and over and haven't gotten tired of them. The ladies are single and trying to make a living as gardeners and go all over the world to different gardens to work and always find themselves involved in murder mysterys. August 25, 2007
