TV on Netflix- All Creatures Great and Small, Season 5

The fifth season of this charming show is more of the same, though a bit less of our old characters than I would like.

In season 5 of All Creatures Great and Small, Tristan (Peter Davison) is mostly absent, and the new vet with the practice isn't nearly as much fun. Calum is the new guy, and we have to go through his painful love life with Deirdre. I could have done with less of that.

But with James (Christopher Timothy) and Siegfreid (Robert Hardy) still making their rounds with the amusing farmers of the Dales, the show still has legs. And the small animal practise is booming, and that still carries a lot of emotion as people sometimes lose their long time companions.

While not quite as good as the first few seasons, All Creatures is still fun and amusing.
