When Ballykissangel first came out on TV, my wife and I watched every episode we could. I even had the presence of mind to video tape (you remember those) a few episodes. Recently we were cleaning out some junk and we found two of the old taped episodes. We watched them that weekend and the next day I started searching for some DVD's. I was surprised to find the complete set available on EBay. Whoo Hoo! We love the story line and where the story takes place. I was surprised to see Father Clifford leave the church after the death of Sumpter (I think that's her name). After that the series seemed to "jump the shark". The early seasons were great and we watched them all over the next couple of weekends.
Lots of humor and charm. Great character and plots development. Dramatic moments are deeply experienced especially the unexpected. Magnificient acting by all. Beautiful scenery. I was again visiting at Fitzgerald's in Balllykissangel (Avoca, County Wicklow) when viewing DVD series, and felt as if I were at home as a part of the community. The Bally kay community will always be a part of me. The Irish in Ireland are so very gracious, charming, warm, witty, and even mischevious. just like in the DVD series. I'll always treasure this series collection.

The characters are very interesting. There is a great combination of fun, comedy and drama. Who cannot help falling in love with the beautiful Assumpta? There is great music and beautiful scenes of Ireland. The accents are rich and real. I am delighted to have the complete series and to have time to enjoy it with my family.
I will watch this many times. America can learn a lot from the British and Ireland series. Such class.

It is an excellent series! It reflects what a small Irish village might experience. The setting is beautiful and the dynamics of the people are like what we have experienced on our Ireland visits. You will not be disappointed in this purchase!
This was one of the best series I have ever seen. The acting was so natural, the characters convincing, the issues and problems realistic. The third series has one of the most poignant epoisodes... the death of Assumpta.
