everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This series is what I would call "light mysteries" not to be taken too seriously, but the chemistry between the actresses is so much fun it makes it addictive and a must watch entertainment. I enjoyed the whole series very much.

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!

...and it has real women in it, Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris, two dynamite actresses.Rosemary & Thyme is about two women, Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme who are in the gardening business together. Everywhere they go to work, they become involved in a murder mystery.In order to enjoy the show, you have to accept two conceits. The first is, both these women are incredibly nosy. They come into a situation to fix, put in, or expand a garden and before you know it, they're sneaking around roofs and attics and asking outrageous questions.The second conceit is that the solutions are sometimes really out there and you wonder how they ever figured them out. Hidden messages on trees, that sort of thing. Wild.Nevertheless, I like it. Sorry to hear it was canceled.

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.
