As a diehard Monarch fan, I will gobble up as much of it as I can get! But I wouldn't claim season 5 as their best. As ever though, the scenery is astounding and the characters always intriguing.
Not to give too much away, Duncan makes a quizzical (read: poor) dating choice, Molly gets swept up in a rollercoaster of love of her own, Paul makes another appearance with a difficult request, and Archie and Lexie face maybe the biggest, toughest decision of their relationship. Of course, some new faces make their entrances, and most importantly, a few dearly loved faces make their exits.
So for those (like me) who love it all, this collection is a must-have. But for those who prefer to cherry-pick the series, I'd recommend seasons 1 and 3 as the best of all.

I am not a big fan of tv in general but this series has captured my attention like no other. Each day I look forward to 1 hour of uninterrupted adventure when I watch this show. I have bought this series in its entirety and when I am done watching it once I will watch it all over again, it is that brilliant. Not only is the scenery the BEST I have ever seen on a show, but it makes me laugh out loud and cry all in the same show. I have grown quite attached to each and every character on this gem of a show. I have just come back from Scotland for the second time, and this show lets me feel like I am still there for at least 1 hour a day. It makes me want to buy a second house in the highlands of scotland, just outside of Edinburgh. I don't think I am so different from many of you out there, and I can't recommend this show highly enough. To those of you who long for a beautifully written and filmed adventure, this is the series you have been waiting for. I know it has been that for me and much more.

Great every moment, keep you on the edge with humor like only BBC can deliver.

This was a wonderful British TV series. However I only caught 2 or 3 shows out of each year, so the story was very confusing. These dvd's are setting the story straight for me. The characters and the sceney are wonderful. I am planning to get the rest of the series. These stories are something you can enjoy over and over again and always find something new to laugh about. If you can't afford a trip to Scotland these dvds are the next best thing!
Thanks!

I enjoyed this series on BBC America and I have enjoyed it on DVD. I can't wait for Series 6 to be available. Great characters and setting.

Well I enjoyed the last 4 series, but I am getting a little leery with the changes. They are losing there characters and I am losing interest fast. Its hard to fall in love with the characters that add so much to the drama, and then the writers are taking this to a whole other series.

We had seen the previous four eagerly, but had been told they didn't stay as good following Series Four. We disagree and enjoy the stories, characters, interaction, and human truths. We will probably try the Series Six.

What a great series! They could have stopped at the end of this session. Session 6 doesn't have the punch as all the rest. What ever reason Alistair MacKenzie left the show...it left it without it's unity of characters. Since they introduced Archie's half-brother Paul in this session the producers knew Alistair was goin to leave the show, at least it looks that way. What a pity. I did LOVE the first 5 sessions and I say thank you for those!!!

This season the show moves in an expanded direction, the stories are better, and the scenery is just as spectacular as always.

Although not as good as the first and second seasons, this was definitely worth 5 stars!
