The Durrells In Corfu Review
This episode of The Durrells was pretty good. The show has never really lost its roots. It maintains the same charm and lightheartedness that made it a hit early on. I have a feeling that this will probably be the last season though. Milo Parker’s voice is starting to deepen and that is really giving away his age. On the other hand, I would keep watching it regardless of this minor flaw. The episode was funny and uplifting. I enjoyed it. A 7.5 out of 10 deserved.
