lanckenj It has taken me longer than most to start to view this series... and yes I read the books in my younger life. No its not a true dedication of Gerald Durell's books but by crikey the writers of this series have given them a wonderful lease of life. Accolades to you and to the choice of actors. Love love love them! Whoever is in charge of the animals, they are a major and most integral part of this series.YOU deserve the best awards for this ever.(If there are any:)) Thanks to you all .
Katy This seies get better with each new season. I love the crazy characters and the scenery! I have laughed out loud so many times, I can't wait to see every new episode. I hope there are many more seasons to come! What a gem, bravo! Or as the greeks say "siharitiria".
taelaakso Is the hole family idiots ,except Gerrald.Overactin,idiot dialog.
krocheav I began watching this series before realizing I had seen the earlier (and better) feature: "My Family and Other Animals" that was adapted from Gerald Durrell's writings back in 2005.For this recent series, writer Simon Nye seemed to think his screenplay for these already beloved stories, needed to be updated from the more realistic 1930's Corfu to a more overtly out-of-place 'modern' 1930's Corfu. The characters come across as too liberated for this era and often quite aggressively annoying. No longer are we seeing life unfold from a child's eyes (as the perspective of the books) but from an all too modern 'mothers' perspective. The first three episodes directed by Steve Barron were enjoyably bearable but Episode 4 directed by Roger Goldby falls over its own modernity and, like most made for TV serials, introduces stereo typical characters and situations lifted out of far too many other similar programs. The longer some TV series are allowed to run the more predictable and uninteresting they all too often become. Viewers who just like to watch formulaic stories may not even notice this, but from the string of other reviews posted for this one - it seems I'm definitely not the only one who felt let down. I won't be looking forward to continuing with what would have been better left as a movie (or maybe two) before it killed itself off. The locations are good and some will enjoy this version but, purists might not persist.
