The Durrells In Corfu Review

This episode of The Durrells was very good. I was really surprised that they killed off Aunt Hermione. Nevertheless, she had a very awkward but good send off. The bug wall was pretty funny too. I can’t wait to see what happens next. The episode scores an 8 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of The Durrells In Corfu right now!
