I adore this series. It is unlike most TV series in that it depicts a beautiful place and time, warts and all, not as a bucolic fantasy but as a place where people work hard, struggle to survive, sometimes suffer loss, but also enjoy the great beauty, shared experiences, friendship and love that surrounds them.
It breaks my heart that most younger folks today would not even recognize these qualities and would be hard pressed to sit through a few episodes. Maybe I'm wrong - I hope so.
But I am forever thankful that our PBS station continues to run this series and I'll watch it as long as I live. Now that Netflix dumped it (WHY??) I may buy the series. I hope the great actors and actresses that performed this series know the oceans of joy that is their legacy!
