lil_rosi Simply put, the movie was a disappointment. The book is a good, old-fashioned classic. The series is far too modern and uses the book as an entertainment object and a diversion from grief. The episodes were rather emotional and sad. The grandmother was a wild woman and there were multiple innuendos that were not appropriate for the TV-Y7 rating. I will not be showing this to my pre-teen boys. While the story line was ok, I do not feel that it did justice to the classic nature of the book.
douglas-24154 Thank you Amazon. I read earlier reviews that talk about swearing and other inappropriate material. I honestly don't understand where that is coming from. The material is, if nothing else, real. This is not a Disney production. Some quarky family members, but that's the way it is with my family. The whole family should see this series. I for one hope it gets slated for more episodes.
dragonj-56592 Love every bit of this show. Has good moral messages, suprisingly similar to 'The Durrells'. Worth the watch. The acting and script were brilliant If you are thinking of watching, be open-minded, and some of humour, more adult orientated will go over young people's' head Have fun watching this series. Fingers crossed for season 2!
aapca We liked it alot. Kids loved it! Fun and kinda old fashioned.
