The Durrells In Corfu Review
This episode of The Durrells was pretty good. It had some humor along the way. It was also nice to see the Durrells actually turn the tables and help Spiros for a change. It is usually the other way around. Sven was arrested and Larry was nearly arrested. In order to save his brother, Leslie was forced to give up his job. This wasn’t the best episode of the season, but it was entertaining nevertheless. A 7 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of The Durrells In Corfu right now!
