I grew up watching the original PBS series on TV. This was back when there were only 3 major channels and the PBS station. The world has added a few more stations since then, about 500 or so.
The series is a relatively calm walk through the English countryside and the lives of the people who live there. The series is seen through the eyes of James Herriot, who is a veterinarian in the town.
If you need high drama and breathless action scenes, this series probably isn't for you. But, if you're like me, after the last year, a TV show that feels like a warm, bubble bath is just the thing for what ails you.
Every time I watch a new episode, I go "ahhhh."
