 Jerri from Little Rock September 7, 2008
Absolutely loved this series. Everything was so good, from the writing to the setting and the acting. The situations were believable and very funny and poignant. The music also really added to the stories. I stumbled across this on Netfix this summer and have recommeded it to everyone I know. I liked it so much that I bought the first three series. It is really charming. Cudos to all who made this series. I haven't watched the rest of the series since I can't imagine it would be the same after the two lead actors left.
 What a let down May 22, 2008

I really loved this series, The story and all the people of the village, What a let down at the end of series three, what a horrible thing to do to Father Peter and Assumpta, However the acting of Father Peter was excellent, I was crying with joy when he finally told Assumpta That he loved her, and then it came all crashing down and she was dead, I will be rewatching Series 1,2,3, but I can't bring myself to watching series 4 and 5, it's just to depressing.
What's the Fuss All About?? April 1, 2008

Ballykea fans know what happened. Apparently the two lead actors playing Assumpta and Father Peter wanted to leave, and so they were written out in a real traumatic series of events. Niamh takes over the pub after Brian buys it, and a new young priest is assigned. What's the big deal? The series is still great; in fact, in my opinion, it's even better, as opposed to when it was focused on the relationship between the sultry but skittish proprietor of Fitzgerald's pub and the conflicted priest. I couldn't ever quite buy the whole premise of Father Peter's strong attraction to Assumpta. Why her? Yes, she was hot and all that, but she was adamant in her rejection of the totality of Christianity and God. I'm no expert, but I am a Catholic, and I know a few ex-priests. I don't know any of them who gave up the priesthood for an atheist or agnostic. Quite the contrary, they seem to have taken up with women of strong faith.
Regardless, without Assumpta and Peter to obsess about, there is adequate time to delve into stories about the many other wonderful and interesting characters in the series: Padraig, Brendan, Eamon, Liam, Donal, Siobhan, Brian, Niamh, Ambrose, Kathleen. And of course, compelling new characters enter, most notably Sean Dillon and daughter Emma.
The greatness of the series is due to the intimacy and beauty of the surroundings, the depth of the characters, the fascinating language and the full gamut of human emotions, all of which are presented so artfully in each and every episode. This is a landmark series, which is perfectly suitable viewing for every member of the family.
In my opinion, possibly the best television I have ever seen February 8, 2008

There are two episodes in particular in this season that I think some have issue with. I had no expectations or prior knowledge when I watched them. Some of the shock proved to me just how connected I had become with the characters. I found myself swept away in the emotion. So much so that I was still thinking about it a few days later. This rarely happens with anything I see on television. What is amazing to me is how much has been conveyed throughout the series without being said. This is a credit to the actors, writers, and directors.
Also, the relationships that are depicted seem so much more real than so much of what I see on American television. I traveled to a small town in Ireland and lived there about a month while I was student teaching. Ballykissangel always mentally takes me back there. It is about community. The characters have depth and richness. It is particularly small town. It is particularly Irish. Wonderful.
I had caught a few episodes on PBS, but then started the series at the beginning. I am glad I watched it in order.
Two of the main characters have left, but I still eagerly anticipate season 4.
Love it April 30, 2007

I understand many of people's frustrations with the finish of Season 3, but this is one of the most well acted and heartfelt shows ever. In particular, the episode "The Reckoning" is a combination of some of the most heart wrenching and shocking TV you'll ever see. Probably one of the best episodes of a TV series of all time. It is almost impossible not to be affected by the scene in Niamh & Ambrose's kitchen when Peter relays his Polar Bear analogy to Assumpta - just one of the all time great scenes in TV - perfectly acted, perfectly written(complete with some terrific background orchestration during this particular scene). Just brilliant.
I miss these characters. The show was never the same after Season 3. But dont miss out on the first 3 seasons. Some of the best TV you'll ever see
