James Alfred Wight's series of books that were written under the pen name James Herriot, are based on his experiences as a veterinary surgeon in England from 1940 to 1992. This series based on the novels chronicles the heartwarming and humorous adventures of James, a young country vet who lives and works in Yorkshire in the late 1930s. The show revolves around a trio of veterinary surgeons, including Siegfried Farnon, who hires James into his veterinary practice at Skeldale House. Besides Siegfried and James, there is Siegfried's younger brother, Tristan, and Mrs. Hall, their housekeeper.

Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe It’s the Linus of TV lineups, the Sunday batch of chicken soup, as it delivers kindness, loyalty, simplicity, and, at a time when our relationship with the environment is strained, a deep respect for the natural world. Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Ben Pobjie The Age (Australia) For every gorgeously heartwarming scene of animals bouncing back to their best, there is a tragedy lurking in the near future. It’s that unavoidable tension in the life of a vet that grants this lovely, gentle, sweet saga its emotional heft. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) If you’ve had a stressful day, you will feel instantly soothed by the sight of the Yorkshire Dales. There is a fundamental kindness and decency to the characters that makes them an absolute pleasure to watch. Rated: 4/5 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast We miss Tristan but everything we know and love about the series continues on Jan 14, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Issues are tackled -- rural poverty, loneliness, the position of women in society -- but with a light touch and genuine feeling. All Creatures -- it’s Call the Midwife with added animals. No higher compliment could be paid. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Conrad C All Creatures Great and Small takes a more serious turn, as is fitting as it experiences the historical events of the time period. Life goes on in Darrowby and our main characters soldier on, but the show remains by and large light-hearted, making the most of the good moments. Much has happened leading up to this season of the show, and there is surely much more to come. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review HR G A bit of a "depressing" season. I do realize the setting and the World War timeline but i do miss the "cozy" feeling that the first three seasons gave me. Still recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Garrett E Not quite as fresh as the early seasons, ACGAS still remains a fantastic show even when it relies more on character drama than animal antics. The addition of Richard Carmody adds some great comedy and charm during Tristan's absence. Looking forward to Tristan's return in season 5. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review K S The writing has declined in the past 2 seasons: It's not true to the books, plus the writer's own version is beyond boring. It's all wallowing in the characters' emotions. And even that is drawn out to the point of unwatchableness. It's very little story with mostly filler Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Shannan M I can't love this series and the actors more <3. I loved reading the books growing up, reading them to my children, and watching the series in the 80's. Beautifully done - I am always sad when the series ends and I have to wait a year for more. Thanks Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Glenn C Typical of the show, this season continues with the charming, heartwarming stories of the past. What an escape, a real feel good show to take you away! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
