The second batch of eight episodes from the wonderful Monarch of the Glen series picks up precisely where Series One left off. Young Archie MacDonald, the London restaurateur forced to assume his role as Laird of Glenbogle--i.e., head of the MacDonald family's 400-year-old, 40,000-acre estate in the Scottish Highlands--has finally taken to his immense responsibility with seriousness of purpose and no little family pride. His cantankerous father, Hector (Richard Briers), long estranged from Archie and once bitter about asking his son to save the financially strapped estate, has gracefully accepted his own change in fortunes but now runs little ploys to maintain a semblance of aristocratic privilege. (In one near-slapstick episode, Hector and his old friend Kilwillie, played by Julian Fellowes, try to hide a valuable barrel of malt liquor from Archie, who is trying to profit from every MacDonald asset.)

Archie's efforts to keep Glenbogle solvent include turning the estate into a sprawling museum and renting the place out for weddings. The tricky bit is that Glenbogle is also a home and touchstone for the MacDonald's appealing staff and friends, and there will always be someone upset about changes in the status quo. Monarch continues to be as much about lovable, boneheaded Duncan (Hamish Clark), the MacDonald's all-purpose assistant; the sexy, strong-willed Lexie (Dawn Steele); grizzled Golly (Alexander Morton); and schoolteacher Katrina (Lorraine Pilkington), whose dodgy, romantic ambivalence toward Archie wears a little thin but finally settles into a promising groove. The radiant Susan Hampshire (The Forsyte Saga) has more to do in this set of stories and thus shines brighter as Archie's intriguing mother. Equally lovely are spectacular views of Highlands scenery: amazing castles, romantic vistas. One wants to stay forever. --Tom Keogh

Monarch of the Glen: Season 2 January 20, 2008
This is a continuation from the excellent 1st seasonMonarch of the Glen - Series One. The series followed the arc started from Season One. My personal preference would have been more complications for the the endings of Archie's romances.

The addition of Fergol didn't seem to add anything except as a foil to Archie and Katrina. I did like the final episode that ended on a cliffhanger.

The scenery of Scotland is of course a big star and trump for the series. Susan Hampshire does well not only as Archie's mother but as a complex character in her own right(see the 1st episode) The relationships, Archie's, seemed to be contrived.

This being said I will certainly watch Season 3. The general Amazon review is not very helpful as it gives inadvertant spoilers. I wish they would remedy this

Note to Amazon & to viewers! July 6, 2007
Note to Amazon: Please don't reveal everything about a series in it's plot summary!!! You are spoiling the surprise for future buyers of this product!

Note to viewers: MotG is FABULOUS! Be warned, however, that BBC America edited seasons 4 (and probably following) to add commercials (BBC in the UK is commercial free) so the Region 1 editions are EDITED. If you want the full episodes, you will need to purchase the overseas editions. Boo on BBC for not giving us the full deal. :P

Season two has new challenges, there's more of Scottish life revealed, and more character interplay.

Pleasantly surprised - from the U.S. - and Awkward Reviewer January 4, 2007
I saw a BBC catalog with different series and movies offered. I was intrigued by many, but of course totally unfamiliar with the product. I tried Monarch of the Glen and was truly pleasantly surprised. I love Scotland, having visited 4 years ago. The characters in this series are all exceptional in my mind. I love the scenery and the story line. There is so much humor and love in the series. The father and mother (Hector and Mollie) are terrific actors and portray such warm, loving, quirky characters. Archie, the son and new Laird of Glen Bogle is intelligent, good-hearted, often confused by his women friends, and clearly frustrated in his attempts to get Glen Bogle back on its feet. The supporting cast of Golly (groundskeeper), Duncan (who does all odd jobs around the castle), Lexie (the cook, housekeeper, clearly in love with Archie), and Katrina, old school friend and now occasional girl friend, Justine, Archie's fiance and restaurant co-owner from London, Laird Kilwillie his parents' neighbor, friend, and sometimes foe - they are all characters you fall in love with. Archie has his hands full and overflowing both trying to get the estate out of its debts and finding ways to make it self-sustaining, and keeping a firm hand on his father's quirky costly schemes, and his gentle mother's follies. I love the stories, and have only seens series 1 and 2. However I was given series 3 for Christmas and can't wait to get back into it. I highly recommend this, and am so glad I gave it a blind stab. I have tried a number of British offerings and am always so glad afterwards. I personally find the films much more realistic and a joy to watch because the actors are so much more real than they are here. Here it seems everyone cast has to be slim, extremely attractive to the extreme - only beautiful allowed, not your normal average everyday human. I also recommend "Oliver's Travels" a mystery series with Alan Bates and Sinead Cusack; The Barchester Chronicles, love Alan Rickman; A House in Umbria, a mystery with beautiful scenery and Maggie Smith, Chris Cooper and Timothy Spall; and Patricia Routledge in Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. I also highly recommend the Horatio Hornblower series and Cracker with Robbie Coltrane and an excellent cast. Happy viewing. Jill Baxter

This is a nice TV series that families will be able to watch together. There is very little of anything objectionable. The acting is all very well done, the scenery is beautiful and the episodes are filled with local characters that make the story more interesting. Highly recommended.
