Movie Reviews of The Irish R.M. - Series 2

Movie Review: A Sweet, Sweet Series!
Summary: 5 Stars

This, the second series (which once again contains six 50-minute episodes), covers a period of approximately eight or nine years and sees the return of all the familiar characters from the first series (with the exception of Mrs. Knox, Flurry's grandmother). This is, I should just mention, a series that one ought to watch from the beginning (ie. from the first boxed set) as there is a definite air of continuity to the episodes.

If you enjoyed the first series, you'll enjoy this one just as much. Though there is a little more drama in a couple of the episodes (with a couple of potentially serious incidents occurring), the comedy is still very plentiful with the humour continuing along the same vein as in the first series. Once again we see Flurry getting up to his tricks, the Major ending up in some very awkward and comical situations, and the odd comical misadventure at Shrilane. As a point of interest, attentive viewers may recognize a younger (and very attractive) Deirdre Donnelly (Siobhan the vet from Ballykissangel) in the last episode.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this boxed set to those who've enjoyed the first set, and I highly recommend this lovely, entertaining series to anyone interested in quality British comedy-drama. If you enjoy Ballykissangel, for example, I think you'll enjoy the Irish R.M.
