Hamish Macbeth season 2 kicks off with an intriguing episode titled A Perfectly Simple Explanation. The show is set in the fictional village of Lochdubh, Scotland, where the titular character of Hamish Macbeth (portrayed by Robert Carlyle) is the laid-back, dog-loving police constable.

The season opener begins with the disappearance of a young girl named Alison Barr, who has been missing for a week. Hamish is called in to investigate the case and immediately sets about questioning the girl's family and friends. However, the case takes a bizarre turn when a man's body is discovered floating in the nearby river. The victim is identified as Hector Maclean, a wealthy landowner and businessman in the community.

Hamish discovers that Hector had been dealing with some shady characters and was involved in some illegal dealings. This, combined with Alison's disappearance, leads Hamish to suspect foul play. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that involves several members of the community, including Hector's business associates and his own family members.

As the investigation unfolds, Hamish relies on his intuition and observational skills to piece together the clues and solve the case. Along the way, he also deals with the challenges of running a small police station in a close-knit community, including managing the egos of his fellow officers and navigating the local politics.

In typical Hamish Macbeth fashion, the episode features plenty of quirky characters and humorous moments, balanced with the serious themes of disappearance and murder. The Scottish setting and accents add to the charm of the show, and fans of cozy mysteries will appreciate the slow-burn investigation and satisfying conclusion.

Overall, A Perfectly Simple Explanation is a solid start to Hamish Macbeth season 2, with engaging performances and a well-crafted mystery. It sets the tone for the rest of the season and leaves viewers eager to see what other cases the charming constable will tackle next.
