A Series you need to see, a world you need to experience!
Fantastic Series! While the 1st seasons are indeed the best of the group (sadly they had to change a number of things over the years, which makes the later seasons a shadow of what the beginning ones were like) but if you have never seen this series, you don't know what you are missing.
You are transported back in time to the life of a small town Vet, & it is as realistic as humanly possible! It is a wonderful doorway to a slower, oldfashioned world, that offers an escape from the fast paced, high stress environment in which we now live.
We first saw this series years ago, & missed the world it presented, so we decided to purchase it. Indeed, it is turning out to be better than the first time we saw it! (Not that we will like the changes that are coming in the later seasons, however it will be interesting what we think of them this time.)
However, negatives aside, the first few seasons alone of it are worth the price of it, as they are done in such a wonderful way. These actors are not acting half the time, they are "doing" & living the lifestyle completely, which brings a realism to this series like no other.
For a step back into time, this series is exactly what you are looking for!
Positives: A very realistic doorway into the past, in a land/place many of us only dream of, presented in the most believable, realistic way. Truly a joy to watch & experience. Each episode is a new excursion, & without waiting, we look forward to the next that follows.
Negatives: The series does degrade in time, as the later seasons don't offer the same world & realism, getting bogged down with further (and unnessary) character issues, and looses sight of its original path. It is so sad that this happened, as the series started off near perfect as it was, & so any changes messed with it in a negative way. Thus the latter episodes are near nothing compared to the initial ones.
Even with these negatives, we HIGHLY recommend seeing/buying this series, as there is nothing out there to compare to the world that it presents. Goes right to your heart.
It is a series we will likely watch a number of times. These actors (a couple in particular) deserved to win an award for what they did here... truly amazing work!Read full review
