"Entertaining"

My Mum was a Land Girl in the UK. Not a lot in the series was as my Mum told me. BUT for the purposes of entertainment the general gist was there. I enjoyed it and it brought back loving memories of my Mum.

Description

Land Girls Complete TV Series DVD Boxed Set includes all seasons 1–3 (4 discs).

Land Girls is a British period drama TV show, commissioned by the BBC to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.

Created by Roland Moore, the popular BBC series Land Girls follows the lives and loves of a group of girls away from home, doing their bit for Britain in the Women's Land Army (WLA). As they adapt to their new surroundings, and knuckle down to some hard work and play, they realise very quickly that their lives will never be the same again. Against the backdrop of war-weary Forties Britain, Land Girls is set on the Hoxley estate, as the girls balance their working lives at the run-down Pasture Farm, and the opulent Hoxley Manor.

Warm-hearted and uplifting, over three series Land Girls examines how a whole generation of women adapted to a new found independence as they helped the war effort. This delightful boxset contains all episodes from Series 1 to 3.

Episodes: ‘Childhood's End’, ‘Secrets’, ‘Codes of Honour’, ‘Trekkers’, ‘Destinies’, ‘Back to the Land’, ‘Displaced Loyalties’, ‘Final Reckoning’, ‘Fight the Good Fight’, ‘Darkest Hours’, ‘Home to Roost’, ‘The War in the Fields’, ‘The Enemy Within’, ‘Farewell My Lovely’ and ‘Last Days of Summer’.

Land Girls TV Show Review

“While the men were away in WWII, groups of dedicated hard-working women took to the fields, working the land in the absence of the male farmers. Known as "Land Girls,” they made sure England's agri­cultural engine continued to churn. The series Land Girls was commissioned by the BBC in honor of the 70th anniversary of the war, and audience popularity has carried it through three series worth of episodes. This latest installment finds the three core land girls—Iris (Lou Broadbent), Joyce (Becci Gemmell), and Connie (Seline Hizil)—hacking away at the lush British countryside, tilling their hearts out, while balancing a multitude of side dramas, including romances, betrayal, domestic abuse, and diabolical spycraft…The war drama is fairly muted, trumped by the relationship shorelines, but the writers have done a great job maintaining a balance and paying off the thriller elements in a big (surprisingly fiery!) way.

At its core, Land Girls is very much a series my wife would enjoy. And I'm not saying that in a sexist manner; the demographic tends to be more female, and my wife lamented the fact that I only had the third series on hand to review. The relationships are the primary plot generators and there's plenty of bodacious emotion to go around. But guys, don't feel like watching this show is punitive. There's stuff here for you too (as long as I'm grossly over-generalizing gender stereotypes).

The production design is especially impressive, staged with a tangible cinematic feel. Despite the World War II setting—and a handful of combat scenes sprinkled throughout—the overall feel of Land Girls is bright and agrarian, delivering a warm, nostalgic feel…If you're suffering from Downton Abbey withdrawal, I suggest giving this show a spin."
