***DON'T READ THIS IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON WATCHING THE BRAMWELL SERIES… ESPECIALLY SEASON FOUR***

Ky,

When I wrote the above entry, I had not watched seasons three or four yet. When we finally watched season four, I remember that ALL of us were very surprised by the totally different direction the producers went. I also remember wondering why all of the characters didn't come back.

I (personally) was sorry that they hadn't simply stopped the Bramwell show after season three… even leaving loose ends dangling…

I just finished watching the final season of Bramwell, and it was far from cozy. It was so completely different from the rest of the series and was such an awfully depressing and disturbing way to end it. Just awful.

Rebecca,

I think that Bramwell is one of the best Masterpiece Theatre shows that I have seen. I absolutely love Eleanor's character, and enjoyed how they were able to flesh-out all of the secondary characters.

However, I do think that they could have finished the series after season three.

I love the Bramwell series but I missed a lot of the later episodes because I was starring in a Victorian drama at our local am dram society and it coincided with the rehearsals. The only bit I saw up to was when Eleanor proposed to Dr. Marsham, then I saw no more so I don't know what his answer was. I hope it was yes, for her sake, he was sweet. Now I'm going to collect the entire collection so I can watch it at my leisure. Hurray!

Niobe, I just checked, and you are right about Netflix and Blockbuster not carrying the third season of Bramwell. I also just checked, and Amazon says that it is releasing Bramwell: the third season DVDs on January 8, so the other two places shouldn't be far behind.

Stephanie, Bramwell sounds fabulous, but it appears that season 3 isn't available from either Netflix or Bockbuster, so I'm not sure I want to begin the series if I can't view all of the episodes. Do you know anything about this missing season? Your website is very helpful and I'm finding lots of books and films that I want to read/view. Thanks for going to all of this trouble.

Thank you, Stephanie…
You are right about the "good characters," which are really important to all of us who love good cozies. I think that it will be an appropriate series to watch, also… but I went ahead and added in the "a little bloody" just to be sure that people of the site are aware…

Wow, I love Bramwell! I didn't realize season 2 was out already on DVD – thanks so much for including the amazon link! I also think it's a wonderful period piece, with very loveable characters. If you like good characters, it's a series for you. Since that's where a lot of cozy mysteries really shine, I think this series will be perfectly appropriate for many users of your site. Thanks for all the great tips!
