In order to successfully maintain order and tranquility in a small and remote village, a single constable does not require much diligence or pedantry. On the contrary, when the authorities are far away, the policeman has the opportunity to rely on common sense, and not on paragraphs of instructions.
The main feature of the series is its location. Hence the colorful local characters and the interesting details of their unusual way of life, the extraordinarily picturesque and original views. The police service in this remote area in the north of Scotland also has its own interesting features. The main character does not bother to strictly follow the letter of the law, however, there is not much direct police work, in some episodes there is no detective line at all.
The episodes and events are quite diverse, many extremely funny, but there were also quite tragic ones. There was a place for a love triangle and ridicule of the "urban". In general, the plot is light and frankly frivolous. There are enough hilarious situations and witty remarks. These are parochial anecdotes. It's set and shot quite simply, playing with a light, usual comedy overkill.
It turned out to be a very colorful, kind and ironic, provincial comedy series with detective elements, with uncomplicated but touching stories, with a cute main character and funny aborigines.
Language. They say it's interesting. Pronunciation, of course, is difficult, and some characters have the strongest accents, but there is almost no complicated vocabulary, so almost everything is clear with subtitles.
I feel sorry for Jock. Very. Apparently, someone needed him to die. Thanks to Jock, the dead boy was found. And when all three of them were standing behind Hamish, it was so touching. To the point of tears.
Phew. The third season and the curtain. It seems that a very good string of scenario finds has dried up this season. And the actors, in addition to the main roles, did their work several times... Pretentious. It's very rolling, the way they tell a joke for the 20th time. Comedy is a difficult craft, and not everyone gets it. Robert Carlyle will go through this homely, ethnographic stage and take his place in world cinema - for example 007. The world is not enough ( https://myshows.me/movie/2286/ ). But that's another story.
