Dead bodies sprout like weeds wherever Rosemary Boxer (Felicity Kendal, Good Neighbors) and Laura Thyme (Pam Ferris, Children of Men) go--and as professional gardeners/amateur detectives, it's their job to get to the root of things. The combination of murderous skullduggery and idyllic gardens give Rosemary & Thyme its whimsical charm. Over the course of 8 episodes, Laura and Rosemary investigate mysteries involving seeds from South America, a three-legged dog, an abandoned infant, cheesy outdoor theatricals, and moaning and clanking in the attic of a struggling hotel. These are not cunning whodunits; viewers looking for the chance to match wits with the on-screen detectives will be frustrated, as the stories rarely present enough information for the audience to figure out the solutions before they are unveiled. Rosemary & Thyme depends instead on your engagement with our heroines: Two middle-aged ladies who bicker and joke with each other like comfortable old friends. British mysteries have always valued eccentricity over glamour, and Rosemary & Thyme fit nicely into that tradition. Though by this third series the writing has grown a bit more rote, the show also makes an effort to enrich the leading ladies' lives by bringing in backstory elements about their friends and relatives. --Bret Fetzer
