The Durrells In Corfu Review

I needed a good lift up and The Durrells definitely did the trick. Sure, it isn’t the best show in the world, but it is always cheerful. This episode was no different. Leslie got himself into a big mess and Larry nearly broke his leg. The more I watch this show the more I see how good Keeley Hawes is for the role. Her facial mannerisms are spot on. I enjoyed the episode from start to finish. It scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of The Durrells In Corfu right now!
