This British comedy series focuses on three priests living on Craggy Island -- a remote isle off the coast of Ireland. Father Ted Crilly is sent to the island as punishment for using money earmarked for a sick child and taking a holiday in Las Vegas (which he denies, of course). Fathers Dougal Maguire and Jack Hackett are his superiors, and Mrs. Doyle is their nosy housekeeper, who makes plentiful pots of tea. Naturally, the priests get into their fair share of somewhat sinful, madcap adventures.

Gerard Walton What Culture 11/15/2018
The episode ["Tentacles Of Doom"] showcases the classic formula of important people visit + things nearly go to plan + something bad happens at the last minute = hilarity. Go to Full Review Mark Harrison Den of Geek 11/12/2018
Series 2 introduces yet more endearingly weird characters as it goes on, with more classic one-liners and running gags. Go to Full Review Paul Millar Digital Spy 11/12/2018
A number of cutaway gags - from the forgetfulness of Dougal to Ted getting in trouble for stumbling across a romancing couple - trickle through this immensely enjoyable half an hour which kicks off the second series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel J Jun 2 I think it is fair to say that part of my rating is based on nostalgia, but not all of it! I love the combination of the surreal, sarcastic, satirical, and slapstick. Season 2 has some strong episodes. "Hell", "Think Fast, Father Ted", and "A Song for Europe" are amazing. My Lovely Horse! See more Chett T 07/26/2023 "Father Ted" Season 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor, delivering another uproarious and entertaining dose of comedic brilliance. This Irish sitcom continues to tickle our funny bones with its clever writing, sharp humor, and unforgettable characters. In this season, the misadventures of Father Ted Crilly and his companions, Father Dougal McGuire and Father Jack Hackett, reach new heights of hilarity. The creators, Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, once again showcase their wit and satire, taking on a wide range of topics with charm and finesse. From parodying reality TV shows to exploring the absurdity of bureaucracy, each episode is a comedic masterpiece that leaves us in stitches. The chemistry between the lead characters remains impeccable, with Dermot Morgan, Ardal O'Hanlon, and Frank Kelly delivering outstanding performances that anchor the show's humor. The addition of eccentric supporting characters, like the ever-enthusiastic Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn) and the rigid Bishop Brennan (Jim Norton), injects new dimensions of hilarity into the narrative. Season 2 of "Father Ted" cements the show's reputation as a timeless classic, with its sharp social commentary, witty dialogues, and heartwarming moments of friendship. It keeps the laughter flowing and the viewers thoroughly entertained, ensuring that Craggy Island remains a place we can't help but return to for a hearty dose of comedy.
