Hamish MacBeth: Season 03 - 1997 - 7/10
Quirky drama comedy set in remote Highlands village.
Robert Carlyle plays the local constable.
Fans of Beaton’s books, read no further, as Carlyle will never substitute for the tall, red haired book original. Indeed, the series bears next to no resemblance to the books.
This third - and final - season concludes a couple story arcs, and is also a little darker than seasons one and two.
Most of the episodes were written or directed by Danny Boyle.
Beautiful Scotland - severe, craggy, lush - give a good sense of place, though the time is harder to pin down.
Some stories drift into allegory or fairy tale.
One warning. There were NO subtitles I could find.
A few conversations were difficult to translate, and subs would have been helpful.
