The Durrells in Corfu (TV Series)

"Set in 1935 when the Englishwoman Louisa Durrell, whose life had fallen apart, decided to move from Bournemouth to the Greek island of Corfu. Her husband had died some years earlier and she has financial problems, when she suddenly announces that she and her four children will move to the island and a Homeric battle ensues as the family adapt to life on the island, especially when they discover that Corfu does not even have electricity at that time. But it is cheap, an earthly paradise and the Durrell family make the big step that will change their lives."*

This TV Series is based on the The Corfu Trilogy by Gerald Durrell. It was very easy to get invested in this show between the beautiful scenery, variety of animals and the antics of the main characters. The Durrell family is quite the dysfunctional one, with each child always getting into something and Mrs. Durrell learning how to appreciate life again. I enjoyed getting to see the family grow from being in this new environment and experiencing the wonders of the island. I am eagerly anticipating the next season to see what happens to them next.
