Well acted and beautifully filmed, its a bit sugary sweet at times, but if thats a mood you're looking for, it should suit nicely. Similar in tone to All Creatures Great and Small (and sharing an actor).

This is such a humane and engaging series. By using the very authentic voice of Gerald Durrell (and he seems to be a wonderful person), the series creates a genuine "feel good" aura to it. The way they used Lawrence Durrell (Not falling into the trap of making the most famous one the center of the story) is also a great filmmaking choice. All side characters are well-rounded, identifiable and the environment of Corfu provides a great background.

Can I move to Greece please?
