Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
drednm This wonderful "who done it" British TV series lasted only three seasons and was canceled because of budget concerns. As it is, 22 episodes are available on DVD.Basic plot has Rosemary Boxer (Felicity Kendal) who's been fired from her job as a university lecturer in plant pathology, and Laura Thyme (Pam Ferris) a housewife (and former police woman) dumped by her husband. The two meet by chance and form a fast friendship that leads them to start a business as gardeners. But they get more than they bargained for when they get involved in local politics, family squabbles, and (invariably) in murder.The two women use their natural curiosity and knowledge of plants to help the cops solve the murders.The show is notable for never showing the actual violence of murder and for having two women of a certain age who are not involved in relationships or with cutesy kiddies. Another big bonus is the gorgeous location filming at various estates around the UK and a few trips to the continent. The viewer can also pick up bits and pieces of garden lore and tips.Kendal is of course a major TV star with hit series like THE GOOD NEIGHBORS and SOLO to her credit. Ferris also has a long list of TV credits. They work perfectly together. These women are smart, independent, and funny.The series boasts a lot of familiar faces as guests like Anthony Andrews, Phyllida Law, Suzanne Bertish, Belinda Lang, Michael Cochrane, Mel Martin, Crispin Bonham-Carter, Margaret Tyzack, Tilly Blackwood, Julian Firth, Murray Head, Diana Hardcastle, Christopher Bowen, and Neil McDermott.Terrific!
Parker Lewis There's a sweet innocence and charm to Rosemary and Thyme. I hadn't heard of Rosemary and Thyme until I stumbled upon it when flicking through the TV guide and I was immediately hooked. Maybe it's the calming atmosphere of the European gardens (yes Brexit voters, the UK is part of Europe) that our two lead characters (Felicity Kendall and Pam Ferris) work in and at the same time solve a murder per episode.But it's more than the murders that makes this series endearing. It's the rapport between the two gardener cum detectives. This series was made in the 2000s and we don't smirk or suggest innuendos etc when Rosemary and Thyme without any fuss share a bedroom when they're on assignment (they do sleep in separate single beds just in case you're wondering) and talk about the murder case and life in general.I really wish Rosemary and Thyme can be rebooted. It deserves more seasons. I mean, if Family Guy can be rebooted, what about Rosemary and Thyme?
Tomlonso Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme live in that never-never world of TV mysteries also inhabited by Jessica Fletcher. Like that famous middle-age woman, these two women seem surrounded by friends and relatives who are bound and determined to kill each other off. Should Rosemary and Laura send you a party invitation, it might be best to decline.There is only a passing resemblance to real murder investigations here. Instead, we are lead blithely along with the two gardeners as they try to work out the latest puzzle. So if they trample over the evidence that a real investigation would need, or if the villains from time to time say "You FOOLl!!" to their inept henchmen (two words probably never uttered by Tony Soprano) it's O.K.To watch this show expecting a treatise on forensics is to miss the point. This is produced by Brian Eastman, not Dick Wolf
momosherry Most of the reviewers here said everything that I could and would say about this series, so I won't be repetitious. I would like to add that I am a strong admirer of most TV shows and movies which emanate from the UK. I don't know why, but they almost always have "meat" to them; and the comedy series are The Best. As for Rosemary & Thyme, I look forward to this show each week--it is like settling down with a good book, a warm afghan and a great cup of tea. I really do love this series; Pam and Felicity are superb in their roles. They make me feel as though I wish they were friends of mine! The locations, too, are just breathtaking.
