5.0 out of 5 stars the best season yet, March 30, 2006

This review is from: Ballykissangel - Complete Series Four (DVD)

I just finished watching this season, and am very surprised to find that I like this the best of the four. I had expected to be disappointed with the departure of Fr. Peter and Assumpta, but their absence actually allowed a livelier, easier atmosphere to prevail in BallyK. In retrospect, I find that the Peter/Assumpta story early began to cast a kind of pall over the series, particularly in Season Three. New characters: Fr. Aidan and his sister Orla, Sean Dillon and Emma, and Danny Byrne--I was endlessly intrigued with all these new stories, and also found that the threads connecting the previous cast deepened and became more interesting. Five stars for this season--I very much look forward to seeing Season Five when it is released!

4.0 out of 5 stars The road though BallyK still worth exploring after major cast changes., May 31, 2006

This review is from: Ballykissangel - Complete Series Four (DVD)

If you are new to Ballykissangel this is a fine show, but it is not the place to jump into this entertaining pastiche of small town Irish life (real or idealized). Season four is not just the fourth year of this program, but really is just the first of several attempts at trying to reinvent itself after huge cast changes. Bit players Liam & Donal who did their job well as hapless hired hands to the focal character of the show (Brian Quigley) have had their roles upped several fold during this year. Thus we see them dredge for gold balls in one of the water hazard's at Quigley's golf course. One of them mysteriously (with no explannation) becomes the guardian of a "pet" bear; a bear, who obviously then reeks a bit havoc. The eccentric uncle (making his first appearance) of this Donal character also does likewise with the town in the season's finale. New faces are also introduced. The town has a new priest (who brings his sister), a new farmer (with his teenage daughter), and the old farmer's presence is complicated by the arrival of his nephew (also a young adult who predictably catches the eye of the new gal in town). In short, a lot is new herein & it takes a bit to absorb all of it since all 5 newcomers are introduced en masse. 3 of these, incidentially, are flat-out successful in the roles and add much to providing much needed ballast after the 3rd season lost the progam's 2 central characters. Father Aiden, as the new understudy to Father Mac, helps to re-center the plot and his sister provides much needed livliness. If you pick up the show with this season, however, it'll be odd to go back to the first 3 seasons. So do partake of the initial 3 seasons (whose episodes, generally speaking, don't significantly suffer much with repeated viewings) first, then delve into and give this selection a try. (And, if you haven't seen it yet, do treat yourself to seeing the very Irish and funny film "Waking Ned Devine".) (06May) Cheers!

This review is from: Ballykissangel - Complete Series Four (DVD)

If viewers can get over father Clifford and Assumpta having moved on, sort of speak, and give this fourth season a chance they will be amazed to discover a really good collection! I LOVE BallyK and was surprised when I found this fourth installment quite good and upbeat. The new characters are interesting and well developed, the old remaining residents of Ballykissangel give it a warm welcome back feel. I just wish the DVDS were available sooner then once a year! Have to wait another year before season 5 is available for sale :( Recommended for old fans, happy to visit old BallyK, and new fans alike that haven't watched season 1-3. Season 4 stands on it's own!
