My 4th grader watched with me last night. His takeaway was, “England looks nice. Do you think we could go fishing there and visit farms to see animals?”

Here's where I need a heart icon.

Nope, not too adult at all, unless your child would have a tough time watching animals in distress. There truly isn't a lot of that, though, and it's handled well and not egregiously. But it can be harder to see on a screen than to read about in a book, for some kids. Last night's episode had, for instance, a shot of a field of sheep all lying down (no blood, no distress, they all survive), a delivery of a stillborn lamb (not at all graphic though) and the death of a budgie (you see the bird's still body but that's all). Nothing too bad but you know your child best. My kid at that age would have loved the series.

No cursing beyond the very mildest if that's a concern. Zero sex.

It is very family friendly. On the other end of the spectrum from watching with a child, I was thinking of referring it to my parents who do not want to watch sex, violence, "foul" language, etc. I don't mind watching any of that, but it is nice to have something to recommend to someone who doesn't!

Another PBS show to watch is Vienna Blood. Season 2 premiered last night along with All Creatures Great and Small and Around the World in 80 Days. If you have Passport you can catch up on Season 1.

DP from earlier....My DH is English and we've traveled and stayed there a lot, and we always say, "This show brought to you by Tourism Yorkshire!" as the show begins. Yorkshire is gorgeous in a windy, wide-open way. It would be a great place to take your son to fish, PP!

Thanks, pp!

Im seriously considering a 10 day trip to London and more rural parts of the UK to include sweeping green landscapes and coastal villages. I just need to find a couple locations where we can fish. I have a husband and boys who love to fish; we just need a local company to provide poles and point us in the right direction.

Just read ACGS renewed for seasons 3 & 4.

I miss the original series characters too much to fully appreciate the new version, sadly.

I think the cursing is a large part of why my kid likes the books! They think they're getting away with something reading about "bloody" this and that!

Watched it last night and woke up thinking about it this morning. A divine escape into a wonderland where the people are nice, and there are lots of furry friends. What a great, perfect show for a pandemic, crazy world. It's in the past, and we all know everything turned out well for the Good Doctor.
