Take a bad soap opera. Staff it with the worst actors you can find. Throw in some absurd & silly plots. Then insist the actors--all in the name of "genuine accents" of course--speak as if they all have mush (excuse me, oatmeal) in their mouths. Mix it all together, and you have some idea of the farce that is pedaled here. I challenge anyone but the most dedicated Scot (all 1000 of them) to understand more than 50% of the spoken dialogue.If you want to see some nice scenery, well, OK I get it. Clouds served up on demand, but it's still a nice setting. But the acting & the plots are excruciatingly and mind-numbingly opaque and silly. Read a book, put a puzzle together, spend time with your loved ones, but avoid this joke.

This "movie for TV" was great entertainment. I shared it with my sister and she bought "series two". I'm going to purchase "series three". The Scottish countryside is spectacular. The castle is beautiful. The characters grow on you and you just have to see what happens next. I understand it was a great success in Great Britain.

We really enjoyed this series, we are now watching the rest of the series. Really great scenery of Scotland

I just love this series but I'm a bit confused about this Season 1 disc. I'm trying to determine whether this US version is really 16.9 widescreen. A number of reviewers have said it is but the specifications listed by Amazon say its 1.33:1 which I understand is 4.3 aspect. Can someone clarify this.

First song I heard from this album was the haunting "relief" and every other song is a moving as this one.

the very first time my son wore these for a banquet. They came apart at the bottom. The sole was loose in the heel area. I have never had a problem with anything I got from Amazon before :(
