There are few dramas these days that could be described as gentle. This proves that gentleness doesn’t have to be dull. It is a delight.

The bottom line is that, once again, All Creatures is a delight. It’s cozy and beautifully made. It’s a throwback that feels familiar, and yet doesn’t always play out exactly as expected. Yet even when it does, it’s charming enough to make each decision work. ... It knows just what it’s about, and we love it for that.

Now drawing on two seasons’ worth of breakthroughs and setbacks, this is a show that understands the relative importance of each new trial, whether it’s treating a moody sow or navigating the pitfalls of young love.

The salubrious nature of PBS' "All Creatures Great and Small" is established enough that if you're reading this, you probably don't need for further convincing.

The second season is as gentle and affectionate as the first. ... It’s all slow-paced and cozy as it urges you to sit back, relax, and let your mind wander to a peaceful place.

A truly comforting treat, All Creatures Great and Small series two proves to be a much-needed tonic in these hectic, ever-accelerating times.

I suppose it's all this shy yearning that gives All Creatures its dramatic tension. ... This gentle nostalgia heals the soul.
