TV Review: All Things Great and Small (2022). PBS, Seasons 1-2.

This series has been described as the "most soothing TV entertainment" out there.  It's not all that exciting, but it's a warmhearted series about decent, "salt of the earth" Yorkshire country people, living in a small rural English town in an earlier and simpler time.  

 

At the center of the story is a kindly young Scottish veterinarian learning his trade, while also learning about love, family and friendship.  

 

This is a remake of a popular English series from decades ago, which went to six or seven seasons.  Note:  the first two seasons of this series take place in 1937 and 1938.  The onset of World War II is coming next season (Season 3).  Recommended.
