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.

Caroline Framke Boston Globe 01/17/2025
So many TV shows bill themselves as ā€œfeel good,ā€ but very few embody that ethos quite like ā€œAll Creatures Great and Small.ā€ Go to Full Review

It’s a show that kills all cynicism. Two minutes in and I was cooing over Helen’s baby. Go to Full Review

If there is one drama you can rely upon for cheer it is All Creatures Great and Small. No matter what turmoil strikes, there is an unspoken promise that things will turn out not too bad by episode end. Go to Full Review

Jennifer H. @BobcatGirl Feb 8 This show genuinely makes me smile. It’s the tv equivalent of a blanket and cocoa in front of a fire. It’s the perfect blend of humor, drama, quirky but lovable characters, and beautiful scenery. My husband and I have a ritual; after each episode one of us says, ā€œThat was charming!ā€ Because there’s no other way to describe it. See more Capo M. @CapoM Jan 31 What a beautiful show, the kindness is so refreshing in these horrible times. See more Conrad C @sosopoptart Jun 23 While the fifth season doesn't as many major milestones in its characters' lives, the heartwarming feeling is just as strong as ever, and it carries the show through a comfortable season. See more Garrett E @GarrettEllis 02/18/2025 An improvement on the perfectly respectable Season 4, All Creatures Great and Small returns to the warmth and coziness of the early seasons, and the return of Tristan is well worth the wait. See more S D @RT58810935 02/04/2025 Not as good as the old original one which concentrated more on the animals and not the characters human emotions. The house keeper is annoying because she interferes constantly and acts like a know it all. She is a housekeeper! Carmody, a new edition should just move away out of the Dales, he does not fit in. Episode 4 (Season 5) is boring, Helen acts bored with the role and James like he wants to be somewhere else. Siegrieds moods are wearing thin. The most likeable ones are Helen's father and Tristan. They're good, humorous actors who create believable characters. I feel after the first couple of seasons it became tired quickly. I'm mad I paid PBS, this series should have been free. Love Yorkshire though. See more Jim B @RT28678417 01/25/2025 Predictable and boring in a sugary sappy way. Great scenery tho. See more Read all reviews
