Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It is interesting that I find 16 reviews for series 3, and only a few for series 1 and 2. I assume most everyone who watched season 3 had also watched the earlier seasons. This reaction appears to come from the writer killing off Asumpta in such a cruel fashion. Would I have preferred a different ending? Probably so. I don't think Peter could have lived without Asumpta, that was a done deal. However that was a pretty cruel way to deal with that situation. Still it did bring out some characters as they dealt with the tragedy. I really don't see the third season being notably of less quality than the early seasons. It just ended with the major tragedy, that is the big difference. True, the character of Fr. Clifford (Peter) changed as he was torn between his love of Asumpta and his love of being a Priest. And I certainly preferred the old Peter to the anguished one. However the third season brought other characters out, as Asumpta and Fr. Clifford were absent for a number of episodes trying to make some space between each other. Niamh became much more important, and I felt a very appealing character. Her convincing Peter to perform last rites on Asumpta demonstarted her willingness to take charge when necessary, a quality that was brought out in the third season in other ways as well. If you like PBS type stuff, such as Mystery or English dramas, you will very much enjoy this series I believe. It would not appeal to a mainstream audience. Just as PBS does not. I think that is a good yardstick, if you like watching PBS type stuff, and generally prefer that to most of what you get on mainstream TV, you should like this very much. This show is not boring, something new is always happening. I had a hard time turning it off, staying up late to watch episodes.
