More Tv Season Info Adapted from Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals and its two sequels, Season 1 of the family drama about British widow Louisa Durrell (Keeley Hawes) and her children Larry (Josh O'Connor), Leslie (Callum Woodhouse), Margo (Daisy Waterstone) and Gerry (Milo Parker) opens with the family, for financial reasons, relocating from dreary England to the sun-drenched Greek isle of Corfu. However, the change of scenery doesn't change their lives as much as Louisa hoped: monetary issues remain; new challenges, some fueled by differing cultural norms, are introduced; and the relatively normal (and not-so-normal) issues families face surface from time to time. Among them: Margo falling head-over-heels in (unrequited) love and, later, befriending a countess; Gerry becoming tight with a former prison inmate; Leslie, after his mother tosses him out, falling into a life of crime; a visiting relative demanding they return to England; and Louisa realizing that a suitor isn't quite what he appears to be.

More Critic Reviews for The Durrells in Corfu Season 1 All Critics (16) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (1) This sunny and touching yarn feels like just what we need in these angst-ridden days. Oct 17, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic The series is a rich family portrait of widowed mother Louisa Durrell (Keeley Hawes) and her four idiosyncratic children. Oct 13, 2016 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Given that talent for mythmaking, The Durrells of Corfu is probably as fine an introduction to the real lives of this remarkable family as could be written. Apr 24, 2019 | Full Review… Simon Caterson Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic Nye's sharpest idea was to make it all more adult-orientated by bringing the role of matriarch Mrs Durrell (Keeley Hawes) to the fore. Apr 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic The Durrells in Corfu is an absolute delight. Oct 10, 2016 | Full Review… John Doyle Globe and Mail Top Critic Yet it works, because Durrell's dialogue is sharp and his characters well-drawn. Sep 22, 2017 | Full Review… Johanna Schneller Toronto Star Top Critic A ludicrously dysfunctional very British family relocates to Corfu without a word of Greek, befriends a host of stereotypical locals and the odd, drunken Brit, and everything proceeds to go completely tits up. What's not to love? Jul 3, 2019 | Full Review… Eleanor Halls GQ Magazine [UK] The series ends with a joyful, sun-dappled party and plenty of ends left untied in preparation for series two. Apr 24, 2019 | Full Review… Jane Rackham Radio Times It is intended as 'escapist' television, as a retreat from a dark world and work on Monday morning, but I just can't escape my brain telling me, 'Three years, and not a word of Greek?' Jul 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) Even though it fits smack in with the style of most PBS dramas, this dramedy is full of really sharp jokes and an entire community of hilariously quirky characters. In fact, the show that it most reminded me of was Parks & Recreation. It's lovely. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review… Meghan O'Keefe Decider The Durrells, is the perfect summer vacation you have probably been aching for. We suggest you pack light, and board the binge-train as soon as possible. May 31, 2017 | Full Review… Ankita Chawla Scroll.in It's a light drama with entertaining characters, all shot on location and the gorgeous hills and sun-dappled beaches, and the cultural color of island life is as interesting as the human story. Mar 30, 2017 | Full Review… Sean Axmaker Seanax.com View All Critic Reviews (16) Audience Reviews for The Durrells in Corfu: Season 1 Mar 11, 2019 I just finished season 1 on Prime. This is a marvelous series, you won't be sorry, there's something for EVERYONE!! Susan C Nov 19, 2017 Dull, stupid, inane, a waste of time Leo C Oct 29, 2017 Funny and witty - can't miss a line or expression. Love all the characters and can watch the seasons over and over again because it is so packed with wit you miss out and need to revisit to get it all. Sep 13, 2017 The only thing disappointing about Season I was that there wasn't a second season! The actors are exceptional (little Milo Parker is SO talented!) and the script is fresh and entertaining. Connie R Jul 29, 2017 Love it! A family so mixed up, they are perfectly normal in the complexities of family life. When they argue you know they love each other unconditionally when it counts. Like most families each member is consumed with themselves until a family member is in need. Can't wait for season 2, 3, 4......9...etc.....j Gayle M Jul 02, 2017 Love this show! It is a totally heartwarming tale about a family that is way out of their comfort zone. The little boy is just irresistible and has a smile that is adorable. The setting is beautiful, and I wonder if it was actually shot in Corfu. I can't wait for season 2 to begin! Carolyn G Feb 04, 2017 I really enjoyed the show, excellent cinematography, the environment and tone are pitch perfect and I'd highly recommend this jewel. I think it has the potential to be something amazing if given enough time to grow. I can't wait for season 2. Aaron S Nov 20, 2016 Was watching for comic relief until it stopped being funny. Boo. April F Nov 20, 2016 We love British shows and this one is a new favorite. Great characters and beautiful setting. Will E Oct 29, 2016 I love Masterpiece and wanted to like this, but the kids made it unwatchable. When the mother calls them "vile", she's not exaggerating. The youngest is a sweet saint, but maybe that's because the memoir is written by him? I'm guessing they all transform into mature, likable people by the end, but I'm not interested enough to watch that long. Scenery is beautiful, though.
