What kind of watch this is
Colin Callender’s 2020 series reimagines the 1978 classic. Nicholas Ralph plays James Herriot, the young vet who stumbles into the eccentric practice of Siegfried Farnon in the 1930s Yorkshire Dales. The hook is the trio: the grumpy senior vet, the earnest junior, and the increasingly exasperated housekeeper. It is a comedy that understands rural life is mostly about fixing broken things, both mechanical and human. With 48 episodes across 7 seasons, the show commits to 40 hours of slow-burn charm. It is the kind of comfort watch that makes you want to stay up late, mostly because the dogs are better behaved than your neighbors.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 99% with an average of 8.5/10 from 46 reviews. Metacritic assigns 84 out of 100. Michael Hogan of The Daily Telegraph called it "family-friendly comfort-viewing." Caroline Framke of Variety noted the update made "a beloved property worthwhile." Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times disagreed, finding the deviation from source material a disappointment. Even the dissent is mild.
How it did with audiences
