Our Zoo

I always enjoy a good period drama and "Our Zoo" is just that kind of story. A bingeable series based on true events. I was rooting for George and his dream the whole time. It's a great story, with a wonderful cast and on top EOG that it is family friendly! So 3 out of 3 made it a winner in my book.

I have no idea why they wouldn't continue with such a wonderful series as this. I was obsessed with every episode and it led me to look into it and being American I'd never heard of this.

I can't believe more stories like this aren't told instead of a 17th movie of Spider-Man or whatever. But this was something fascinating and true and heartwarming a legendary cast of actors.

You know it's not too late to bring it back...

Scant few scenes of wildlife interacting with humans interwoven with old timey British melodrama. If your kids don't have an iPad maybe they'll enjoy. Pretty boring.

Based on a true story, this makes it even better! Beautiful scenery, manor home, and cinematography. Realistic, honest character development. Loved the actors, actresses, and animals. Genuine portrayal of wartime survivors experiencing PTSD. Emotionally congruent, feeling the empathy and compassion for the various animals. Tears happened in quite a few scenes/episodes that authentically portray the resiliency, determination, passion, and purpose experienced throughout the first season. My only real disappointment after watching the first season was that I had hoped there would be more! I'm sure there's endless accounts of the family, zoo, and the story of their lives!

This is a good bbc drama although it is a dramatised version of the true story. I wanted to challenge the point another reviewer who says we cannot justify zoos in the modern world. That is an idiotic statement and one that is what is wrong with the world at the moment. Zoos are more important than they ever have been. They are key in conservation and education. They are breeding animals that are in danger of going extinct and educating people all over the world in why animals need to survive rather than killing them directly or indirectly. It's a shame the internet has allowed ignorant people a voice.
