The reveal was forced (by R&T standards) and honestly, didn’t match up with the sudden twist that came just before it. (Specially since a previous episode hinged on moving the evidence.) Thyme is a former cop, for one, and she would know the trouble you would be asking for by removing evidence. This one revolved around an Idiot Plot (a trope which requires main chars to be stupid to advance the plot) where R&T do idiotic things despite previous characterisation and knowledge. It is all very well to argue about TV, escapism, and suspension of disbelief, but I do have the other Rosemary and Thyme episodes to use as a yardstick. This episode is easily the worst one I have seen of theirs. I still think that the first two seasons are worth watching, but three times might still mean you’re out…. I was not sure whether I should write this blog or not, but decided to go ahead and write it since I had previously recommended the Rosemary & Thyme series. or even hungry pets rummaging through the underbrush of the “Gooseberry Bush”!!! Was anyone on the set even paying a little attention to these plot developments!?!?Īnother question that I have: Why wasn’t one of the amateur detectives jailed for breaking and entering the home of a murder victim? And, here’s yet another question I have: Why weren’t the amateur detectives jailed for deliberately moving a murder weapon because the person who owned it (and who was trying to bury it) said she hadn’t used it to commit the murder… and since they had just met her, they knew she was telling the truth! Need I say more!!!?!!!?!!!? Unbelievable! Good thing that there were no wild animals…. Also, another part of the plot that I found disgusting was the fact that the natural mother of the newborn had left her baby out in the woods so that the father could pick up the baby some time that morning. Perhaps, since they are such busy gardeners, they have the luxury of leaving a newborn baby in their car all day while they attend to their busy gardening chores, but as a mother of two, I found that part of the plot to be absolutely appalling. Why the two amateur detectives were not jailed for child abuse/neglect was never dealt with…. The last episode that we watched was The Gooseberry Bush. It seems to me that the location of the gardens is now of tantamount importance, rather than the splendour of the flowers. I don’t think that they are at all interested in that aspect of the show anymore. It seemed (to me) that the actresses wardrobes would reflect the palette of the flowers they were currently planting. not only the flowers in the gardens, but also the clothes of the actresses. One of the things that I most enjoyed about seasons one and two was the beautiful colors that the producers seemed to be able to capture……. I have to admit that we have only watched the first five episodes of season three, but I am sure that my husband considers that five shows too many! So, I went ahead and procured the latest season of the show thinking that we were making a wise investment of both time and money…. Since my husband and I started watching the Rosemary & Thyme show two years ago, we have invested a reasonable amount of time and money in the series. Of course, that is probably not the case if you have watched any of Rosemary & Thyme’s season three shows. You may wonder what exactly I mean by the title of this blog.
