Well produced and acted series. I rather enjoyed reading the James Herriot books years ago and rarely do movie or television series based on books do justice to the actual printed material. I was amazed with this production since it brought the characters to life as you follow rural vets through their daily lives starting in pre-war England right through to the early 1950's. There is much humor in the old farmers and their pets and livestock, but be warned: dry British humor abounds. Scenery of the English Dales is breath taking. I highly recommend this series to anyone, whether or not you have read the books, and you will really enjoy this series over and over again.
This series is such a delight. The characters are engaging with real life endearing and irritating qualities. The animal treatments are depicted realistically and are even educational. You might have to turn up the volume or train your ear to catch all with the accents, but that too is realistic for the location. Highly recommend!
