Movie Reviews of Road to Avonlea Season 2
Movie Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I love this series, so when rating Season 2 as a whole I would give it 5 stars, if this series was purchased for me. I gave it a 1 star for the following reason. It was advertised as subtitled. I purchased this set for my deaf daughter who absolutely loves the series. I had to return this set because she couldn't watch it. Amazon, though, did cheerfully and quickly refund my money. I really hope that this problem is fixed in the future as I would like to purchase it for my daughter. Movie Review: Charming.
Summary: 5 Stars
Charming children and adults get into fun predicaments.
If you liked "Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne of Green Gables"; you should like this. Seasons 1-6 are excellent.
Beautiful scenery, period costumes and sets, pretty dresses, farm, horses, a little humor, realistic characters, likeable characters, lively pace, and inviting activities, carry you to a nicer place.
This season has some interesting episodes:
~Michael York guest-stars in two episodes as a mysterious, sea captain in search of buried treasure ("All That Glitters").
~"Old Quarrels, Old Love", about the rivalry and friendship of Rachel Lynde and Hetty King has an excellent ending that is subtle and touching; without words, yet moving.
~Sarah's cousin comes to visit; famous stage actress, Miss Pigeon Plumtree; a melodramatic episode.
~There's lots of humor in the episode, "A Mother's Love" (writer: Suzette Couture) where Sarah leads Felicity to believe she was switched at birth with a girl of a poor family.
Mr. Sullivan spared no expense to create warm and humorous escapades.
This series has been my best money value; dividing the 13-episodes by the cost: $51?13 episodes = $3.92 per 46-minute episode. Sells new in Canada for $80.
Movie Review: Best so far
Summary: 5 Stars
Season two is definetly where the stories take off. Wonderfully funny and emotionally moving, all in one great set.Movie Review: Brilliant Series - Poor medium utilisation
Summary: 5 Stars
The Road to Avonlea Series is a brilliant family friendly series fit for both the young and the old. It lacks Disney like kitschy sappiness and provides enough human substance to satisfy a stauch Krysztof Kieslowski fan like me.My four favourite characters - I can't choose which one I enjoy watching the most - Colleen Dewhurst (Marilla Cuthbert), Sarah Polley (Sarah Stanley), Jackie Burroughs (Hetty King) and Patricia Hamilton (Rachel Lynde) - each is a delight to behold. The rest of the cast is excellent too. I own the first two seasons on DVD so far and will preorder the subsequent releases.
The DVDs are however disappointing in that they are double sided and lack many special features. The picture quality has improved from the terrible MPEG compression artefacts of the first season boxset however. This series is highly recommended despite the technical flaws of the DVDs.
Movie Review: Happy to finally have RtA on DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
The second season of Road to Avonlea has to be one of my favourites. Some great characters and guest stars in these 13 episodes, many of them not-to-be-missed! The show itself I would give 5 stars, it's perfection. The only reason I gave the DVD 4 stars is because I was a bit disappointed with the bonus features (couldn't they have included more, like better cast interviews, deleted scenes, etc), and some of the quality of the bonus features was not up to par. But overall, a fantastic show I would recommend to anyone. Looking forward to Season 3 on DVD!
