Good clean fun.
Given that The Darling Buds of May (with the outstanding David Jason) was hugely popular and successful I was surprised at this remake, and a little worried it might not be as good. However, Darling Buds is 30 years old now and The Larkins is suitably different from it - it is not a direct remake.
I really liked this version. I found myself laughing and giggling all the way through - it is good, I needn't have worried.
There are lots of idiots complianing that this series is "woke" or "tokensim" - yes, we get it: you don't like black people and think they shouldn't be in a series like this. I can only pity them. The Larkins is not meant as a historical record - it is meant as a fun TV show, so mission accomplished.
Good cast, good stories, good clean fun.
