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 (12) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (11) | 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 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 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 Gentle wish-you-were-here fare, the kind that makes tourist boards rub their hands together and the rest of us wonder why holidays never look remotely like it. Nov 18, 2016 | Full Review… Chitra Ramaswamy Guardian Top Critic The Durrells in Corfu is indisputably Hawes' show. She gives a dryly hilarious performance as Louisa, a woman who remains vibrant and adventurous, despite what life has dealt her. Oct 17, 2016 | Full Review… Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times Top Critic All the Durrells seem to find themselves in Corfu. Viewers will find them irresistible.
