The Durrells (2016)
A Heartwarming Family Tale
18 April 2016 - 79 out of 100 users found this review helpful.
I'm so very glad I've never read the books so I'm able to watch the show and enjoy it for what it is: a touching, brilliantly produced coming of age story / mature romance / family drama.
Imagine if your father has died and your mother, in a fit, decides to move to a completely different part of the world. You have crazy, interesting siblings
The Durrells does everything right. The actors have convinced me I've travelled through time and am actually watching a real British family living in 1930s Corfu, I lose myself in the beauty of the island due to some magic the cinematographers have cast (or maybe it's just incredible skill), and the director does what a director should do, they make you forget they exist.
