Variety

'All Creatures Great and Small' doesn’t aim to reinvent its source material; in fact, the show is a downright love letter to it.

Common Sense Media

This take on Herriot's autobiographical tales (an earlier adaptation premiered in 1978) is well written and acted, and its setting in the bucolic Yorkshire Dales just magnifies its charm.

Television Heaven

Beautifully and authentically filmed, the breathtakingly beautiful countryside with its undulating landscape adds to the authenticity of that rarest of animals - a reimagining done right.

NPR

The new All Creatures Great And Small is, above all else, soothing. Not because it is mindless or merely distracting, but because the slice of humanity that it focuses on is a slice taken from the better rather than the worst of what we can be.

Rotten Tomatoes

With a winsome cast, picturesque setting, and plenty of heart, All Creatures Great and Small is a gentle reminder that good drama can be as soothing as it is entertaining.
