James Alfred Wight's series of books that were written under the pen name James Herriot, are based on his experiences as a veterinary surgeon in England from 1940 to 1992. This series based on the novels chronicles the heartwarming and humorous adventures of James, a young country vet who lives and works in Yorkshire in the late 1930s. The show revolves around a trio of veterinary surgeons, including Siegfried Farnon, who hires James into his veterinary practice at Skeldale House. Besides Siegfried and James, there is Siegfried's younger brother, Tristan, and Mrs. Hall, their housekeeper.

Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 01/17/2024
It’s the Linus of TV lineups, the Sunday batch of chicken soup, as it delivers kindness, loyalty, simplicity, and, at a time when our relationship with the environment is strained, a deep respect for the natural world. Go to Full Review Ben Pobjie The Age (Australia) 11/27/2023
3.5/5
For every gorgeously heartwarming scene of animals bouncing back to their best, there is a tragedy lurking in the near future. It’s that unavoidable tension in the life of a vet that grants this lovely, gentle, sweet saga its emotional heft. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/10/2023
4/5
If you’ve had a stressful day, you will feel instantly soothed by the sight of the Yorkshire Dales. There is a fundamental kindness and decency to the characters that makes them an absolute pleasure to watch. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast 01/14/2024
We miss Tristan but everything we know and love about the series continues on Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 10/06/2023
Issues are tackled -- rural poverty, loneliness, the position of women in society -- but with a light touch and genuine feeling. All Creatures -- it’s Call the Midwife with added animals. No higher compliment could be paid. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Capo M. @CapoM Jan 31 What a beautiful show, the kindness is so refreshing in these horrible times. See more Conrad C @sosopoptart 10/10/2024 All Creatures Great and Small takes a more serious turn, as is fitting as it experiences the historical events of the time period. Life goes on in Darrowby and our main characters soldier on, but the show remains by and large light-hearted, making the most of the good moments. Much has happened leading up to this season of the show, and there is surely much more to come. See more HR G 06/18/2024 A bit of a "depressing" season. I do realize the setting and the World War timeline but i do miss the "cozy" feeling that the first three seasons gave me. Still recommend it. See more Garrett E @GarrettEllis 02/23/2024 Not quite as fresh as the early seasons, ACGAS still remains a fantastic show even when it relies more on character drama than animal antics. The addition of Richard Carmody adds some great comedy and charm during Tristan's absence. See more K S @KS-SLC 02/13/2024 The writing has declined in the past 2 seasons: It's not true to the books, plus the writer's own version is beyond boring. It's all wallowing in the characters' emotions. And even that is drawn out to the point of unwatchableness. It's very little story with mostly filler See more Glenn C 01/22/2024 Typical of the show, this season continues with the charming, heartwarming stories of the past. What an escape, a real feel good show to take you away! See more Read all reviews
