A warm, funny, feel-good series chronicling the many adventures based on naturalist Gerald Durrell's trilogy of novels. The Durrells in Corfu sees impoverished widow Louisa Durrell (Keeley Hawes, MI-5) make the radical decision to leave 1930s England to seek out a new destiny for her family before she and her children go completely off the rails. When Louisa relocates her reluctant brood to a dilapidated house in the Greek sun, the Durrells face a whole new set of challenges as they meet new friends, rivals, lovers - and animals. In Season 2, follow the further exploits of the eccentric Durrell family as they embrace life on the gorgeous Greek island and continue to put down roots. Doing their best to settle into the community, they undertake what they must to navigate life and earn enough money. Then, in Season 3, a visit from Aunt Hermione shows that the formerly formidable matriarch has found romance and embraced the laid-back Greek attitude. Leslie's also enjoying a much-improved love life with three very different girls. But there's no safety in numbers when his mother and siblings decide to interfere. Margo has (temporarily) given up on love and found a new vocation, while Gerry's obsession with animals continues to grow. As for Louisa, a trip to the UK with Larry reminds her of the restrictions of her old life. This program includes bonus features and offers subtitles in English (SDH). As seen on public television.

This series is a true delight to watch and share.
Having watched season four of the Durrells of Corfu and realizing that it was the end of the series, I immediately looked for the previous 3 seasons to share with my wife of 54 1/2 years. We have now completed season 1, a true delight to view. The family (one mother, three sons and one daughter) transition from England in the 1930's to a Greek Island where it is cheaper to live is able to enjoy the setting with a fine cast of characters who become unforgettable. The series, so far, is filled with humor, sadness, surprising growth and development of the individual family members and unintended consequences. I highly recommend the series having seen the first and the last season. I plan to purchase season 4 soon to share with my wife so she will get the full experience, too.

Perfect Summer Adventure In Greece!
Absolutely fell in love with this series from the first minutes of Episode 1, Season 1. A perfect adventure in gorgeous Greece full of family, great characters, beautiful scenery. Wonderful for the animal lover. A friend of mine asked me if I'd seen this series. I had not, but trusted her recommendation, and am spending my summer in Corfu with a wonderful cast of characters! Highly, highly recommend to you. If I had a one wish destination, it would be a summer spent in that perfect little house by the sea.

It's one of my favorite as well as my dad's and we wanted to ...
I bought these DVD's after seeing on PBS Masterpiece Theater, for my dad. It's one of my favorite as well as my dad's and we wanted to have it as part of our "Must Have" collection. I stopped buying DVD all together because we stream it through our computer, but The Durrells were one of those you want to watch every year. I highly recommend to people who like BBC productions. I wish American shows were more like BBC; smart, witty, funny, perfect dialogue, perfect interpretation of characters just amazing. Also you its one of those, you want more not less. Good viewing.

A Delightful Series
Am really enjoying Seasons 1-3 of this series and will be ordering the 4th and final season soon. It's a wonderful show full of warm, delightful, quirky characters, many of whom are animals (yay!!) and set on a beautiful Greek island in the Ionian---who could ask for more?? I love it! Each time I watch an episode, I never want it to end. Thanks for the fun!

Excellent for all ages
I loved the Durrells. The scenery alone without the excellent actors would make the film worth while. I had this shipped to a friend who was house bound in a cold climate. This lightened their mood and are enjoying it. While all the characters are well developed, I think any Mom who has a son will fall in love with Jerry.

The Durrells in Corfu Seasons 1-3
Very happy to find the first 3 seasons of The Durrells in Corfu sold together at a great price. I don't think anyone else had all 3 seasons for sale yet.
