  1. The cozy, well-known contours of this story are a feature, not a bug. Still, the new series is completely charming on its own, entirely apart from whether you grew up with Herriot as a nostalgia figure. ... There’s always a real chance that he’s not going to be able to help an animal, and All Creatures Great and Small would not work without knowing those stakes. At the same time, the foundation of the series is the rock-solid confidence that Herriot and his colleagues are competent and deeply compassionate.

    It is comfort food TV right down to its bones, and it is comfort food TV that works, even for a curmudgeon like me.

    The tone is more humorous than not, and even when things are a little rough between the characters, the camera and the soundtrack turn to the landscape for romance. (Even a tractor ride may bring in sweeping strings.) We are practically being instructed to fall in love with these people and this place, and it is an easy instruction to follow.
