Featured review
Made with a lot of love for what made the original a classic
I was a kid when the 70s series came out first, and the wonderful warm cast, the bucolic scenery and dreamy atmosphere of times long past, have stuck with me (and probably countless others around the globe) all my life. I even dreamt to become a vet after that, and even though life took me in a different direction, this series remains the symbol to me of innocent dreams lost, but not forgotten.
This reboot quite moved me since it took me straight back to 1978 (when it came out in Holland), I was a kid again, in a time when life seems so uncomplicated full of illusions, and everything was open still.
This episode is done with a lot of love for what made the original tick; cinematography, the music, cast, costumes etc are so good that we are taken back in a time machine to a world long lost in time as if we are there, wishing we could stay, if we could.
I am sure young people watching it now could carry this reboot in their hearts as many of us have done with the original. I am sure the original cast will consider this as a proper tribute to them, and I would love to see a series 2 if time allows.. And hey, even Mrs Hall is back in a younger incarnation, this time hopefully for more than 3 seasons!
