This episode lacks punch. It centers around two things. First of all, it is about a parentless boy and his dog. On the one hand we seem him as nearly psychotic. The next he is picture perfect with good morals. Despite his abusing James over and over, our worthy vet realizes that the dog is in trouble and can't let it go. Too much, I'm afraid. The other is a farmer whose daughters are gone and whose wife is dead. He can't keep the farm going on his own. Well, well, well! Siegfried has quit smoking and is treating the world like dirt. Helen is getting really tiresome. It just lacked any spark for me. We could see the ending a mile away.

What Did I Just See???
jamericanbeauty2 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Did I just see a little boy coldcock James, a grown man?! Why didn't James chase him down? We now have James' Wife Helen mocking him in front of his boss Siegfried for getting "thumped" by said little boy. Speaking of Helen, she continues to be a busy body know-it-all from Season 3 on. She retired from her family's farm or did I miss something? Siegfried has become a goofy grump and stopped smoking his pipe and tells his clients to do the same because the writers want to insert a modern-day No Smoking message in a 1940s rural Yorkshire village where it doesn't belong. Housekeeper Audrey continues to be sad, so very sad. After a somber, unimpressive Season 3, I feared the show I loved in Seasons 1 and 2 left on that train with Tristan. I'm out.
