The Durrells Review

Sorry for any errors above. Got into a big rush with work and such. This episode was great, but very depressing. It was sad to see all of the good romances come to an end. The one with Leslie and Daphne was most painful. The circus was pretty entertaining and funny though. I guess Louisa and Spiros aren’t going to be an item after all. That is probably for the best. The episode was good from start to finish. An 8 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of The Durrells In Corfu now!
