It is one of those perfect farm land documentary

Warning: Spoilers
It take you back in time, you can feel those times when everything was simple yet it was difficult and people were highly skillful.

If your city loving person then you may not like any of Ruth Goodman's Farm shows. However if you like peaceful farm type of life style then you are going to love this.

What I do know is that you will learn something new every time you watch these shows (Wartime Farm, Edwardian Farm, Victorian Farm, and Tales from the Green Valley).

The character are original, intellectual, and entertaining. It is one of the best documentaries I have seen including Wartime. My special favourite is Edwardian Farm. Nonetheless Wartime farm takes you back in those scary days when fear of German bombs were imminent 24/7. Farmers in war time were also the real heroes of Britain during the war time.

Real eye opener

Wartime Farm is a fantastic series, in 2021 it is difficult to fathom what the WWII generation went through during the war. I wish every young person could watch this show.

Sound issues

At least in the first 4 episodes, the background music completely overwhelms John Simm's narrator voice. This annoyance apart, the series lives up to the very high standards of the other farm series.

Good

Another follow up to the previous _ Farm series we're again joined by Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, and Alex Langlands, as we follow the trio of historians and archeologists as they live on a historical WWII era British farm throughout the seasons of a calendar year, as an explorations into daily life on the farm how it would have been during its height. Generally speaking the more modern the history the less I'm engaged, but I must say this was one of the most fascinating of the series so far because of it. Throughout we get many lived experience retellings of the troubled times, the might of those left in Britain during the raids, struggling to produce whatever goods they could. If you're a fan of history, particularly WWII history, this series shines some light on impacts of the war not as often told. Would certainly recommend.
