Ballykissangel continues on DVD - hurrah!!

We are absolutely hooked on BallyK, and are so excited to see series 3 on DVD. We were sad to see Assumpta and Peter exit, but there is so much more rich possibilities for plot lines with the addition of Fr. Aidan and his sister Orla. Colin Farrel adds interest with his brooding good looks, as well! Liam and Donal are back for plenty of good fun. You will not be disappointed. We love this series so much, that on one of our trips to Ireland, we stayed in Avoca, Co Wicklow (fictional BallyK) and shopped at Hendley's, toured the church, Brendan's school, and even Fitgerald's!
Enjoy, if only the series was still on........

A Little Disappointing

I started watching Ballyk in the middle of Season 5 and was hooked though I was only able to watch the episodes haphazardly in my pre-TIVO days. When the series started being released on DVD, I picked up my copies and watched the first two seasons for the first time and became a fan. I recently picked up the third season and was a little disappointed. Overall the episodes were great. However, I felt that Stephen Tompkinson's character, Father Peter Clifford, went from being very likeable to somewhat painful to watch. His feelings for Dervla Kirwan's character, Assumpta Fitzgerald, reasonably explains some of this change. However, I wonder if he was just getting tired of the series. In the end, both Dervla and himself wanted to leave the series after Season 3 and this resulted in a very abrupt ending. I believe that adding one or two episodes may have eased the transition to Season 4 and would have produced a more satisfying ending. However, the ending was quite thought provoking which cannot be said of many series. If you are a fan of the series, you will not want to miss this collection of episodes on DVD. If you know nothing about the series, start with Season 1 and work your way through. I think you will get hooked as I was. On a technical note, I was disappointed in the lack of extras other than a cast bio. That and Tompkinson's performance on the later half of the episodes resulted in my 4 star rating.

How To Ruin A Great Series

I'm Irish and I know that all their wars are merry and all their songs are sad, etc., etc., but this is ridiculous. This was a wonderful series until they decided to blow it up and take a completely different tack than the one that originally attracted people to it. i.e., the story of a young English priest in a small Irish village. And until the last episode of this series, they did a great job telling that story. The characters were well-defined and well acted and the humor and quirkiness definitively Irish, but the center of the whole thing was the English--accent on English-- priest and when he disappeared, as far as I was concerned, the whole series collapsed, particularly in light of the way in which the two central characters were dispatched. If Kirwan and Tomkinson wanted to leave, surely the writers could have come up with a better, less abrupt and disappointing way to allow them to do it. At any rate, it was great while it lasted but the episodes that followed this series were an awful letdown, even with the appearance of Colin Farrell and several other interesting Irish actors here and there.
