Season 2 Review: There are few dramas these days that could be described as gentle. This proves that gentleness doesn’t have to be dull. It is a delight. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Now drawing on two seasons’ worth of breakthroughs and setbacks, this is a show that understands the relative importance of each new trial, whether it’s treating a moody sow or navigating the pitfalls of young love. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It is comfort food TV right down to its bones, and it is comfort food TV that works, even for a curmudgeon like me. Read full review

Season 1 Review: "All Creatures" doesn't just stop at being pleasant in a wholesomely British kind of way. Coursing through the entire seven-episode series is such an amount of heart, the kind that ensures that goodness and decency inevitably win the day, that it will leave you yearning for better times, especially amid the unprecedented stress the last year has brought us.

Season 2 Review: A truly comforting treat, All Creatures Great and Small series two proves to be a much-needed tonic in these hectic, ever-accelerating times. Read full review

Season 6 Review: Ultimately, All Creatures Great and Small remains what fans want, if a little sadder than the early seasons. Read full review

Season 4 Review: There was no Tristan as All Creatures Great and Small returned for series four, so humour levels were depleted. .... Mostly the tone was sombre as James (Nicholas Ralph) tried to help the poorly dog of the impoverished boy Wesley Binks. Read full review

This wholesome PBS series is a touching and funny adaption based on the 1970s book series of a young veterinarian in 1930s Yorkshire England. The show centers around the naïve, eager James Herriot, who, fresh out of vet college, is hired by the eccentric, curmudgeon, and local vet, Sigfried Farnon. We follow James on his vet adventures meeting the tight-knit townsfolk and their beloved animals, as well as Sigfried's mischievous but charming brother, Tristan, and the motherly housekeeper Mrs. Hall. (Harry Potter fans will enjoy seeing "Neville Longbottom" as the pretentious Hugh Hulton.) The acting, script, and cinematography are wonderful and the scenery is beautiful. This warm, endearing series can be enjoyed by the whole family.… Expand
