ok and forewarn that the first episode be exceedingly slow and but promise that later episodes grow in depth and gentle village humor and i slog through for the first five ( a fan friend share the first seven episode with me in the usually strong theory that immerse oneself in character one can lose yourself in their world ) and skip to the finale which involve amateur theatrical and somehow seem emblematic of the whole enterprise . if there be something magnificent in six and i may never know . the portrait of british countryside life be doubtless strong and faithful and but i guess i be too much of a city boy . fan of last of the summer wine ( though it have strong character development ) or the vicar of dibley ( if you think the humor in the latter be too intrusive ) will doubtless take to this series like duck to water and but others be warn represent this have nothing of the warm character development of all creature great and small or the sophisticated humor of yes minister or hot lead ( but also blessedly none of the camp of be you be serve ) . it be what it be and but i enjoy my actual time in the british countryside with real people more than my few hour with this strangely insulting show .
