Dear friends, here is a sun-drenched British comedy set in Greece for a break from these angst-ridden days.
The Durells
The first three seasons are now streaming on Amazon Prime.
This comedy-drama is about a British family that moves from England to Corfu, Greece, in hopes of a better life.
At first the cultural shocks and mishaps are hilarious, but The Durells quickly becomes a heartfelt drama centered around the mother, who has to push through a lack of money, new responsibilities and a sense of loneliness on top of the cultural adjustment.
