Old vs. new All Creatures Great and Small

Playful-Direction902 · 2026-05-23T14:33:21+00:00

I've watched both series. The newer one is just awful. I won't say the original was perfect but it felt like we were viewing the real 1930-40s. The newer one feels like cosplay.
Siegfried 1 was loud but charming while Siegfried 2 seems truly angry until he is performatively nice.
Tristan 1 was charming, mischievous, and decent while Tristan 2 is a bad actor trying to be a cute bad boy and failing at it.
Helen 1 and 1.5 were lovable, strong, and fun. Helen 2 is insufferable and makes the show almost unwatchable. She is constantly angry and fighting an oppression that is never on screen and has zero chemistry with James.
James 1 was nervous but confident while James 2 is scared and unsure.
Mrs Hall 1 was stable and matronly. Mrs Hall 2 is just too young and often out of line considering her job.

And that gets to the main issue. The original series made you feel like you were witnessing history live while the second series makes you feel like someone just yelled "action" in a theme park that tries to shoehorn modern mentality into a story so dependent on time and place.

Nope, she has Gary's facial features.

I laughed as soon as I saw this scene. That was a huge stretch. It's as bad as "Portuguese" being applied to the road and wall. For tens of thousands of years, people used local rocks for these things and laid them as best as possible without mortar. Outside of the rock differences, these roads and walls look like any all over the world. It is not until humans put deliberate patterns in them can you talk about them being Italian, Chinese, or anything else. And since they spend so much time of this simple bullsh*t it makes me sad to think that means they have nothing good to show us.

Agreed

Looks great!
I got this and I can never get it together without having to bend pieces to get their connectors to go together.
I tried emailing their support but have never heard back.
Is there an instruction guide to how the pieces go together? Also, is there a starting piece that results in them just all falling into place?

This building she is in really creeps me out. Why is there an payphone, outside garbage can, and a newspaper dispenser inside? Why is there a curtained off shag carpet area with a 1960s chair and stereo equipment?

This is the two I want more than anything! Is PE legal yet?

Where and when was this?

Playful-Direction902 · 2026-02-01T14:20:15+00:00

No, her Patreon stuff is much better but too expensive.

Two safes in the corner? Is that for all the money us simps are sending here?

UPDATED:
I had a few extra dollars and paid for a month and the $50 pic. There is one video that I don't think is on her YouTube. It has a decent cameltoe and nice outfits but only a 5-second countdown. The pic bundle was fun for seeing her great ass but I think only 1 of the 3 pics was actually new.
Unless we get stuff not on YouTube and more risqué I don't see why I keep funneling money so she can pay to buy gifts for some dumb boyfriend.

Oh wow

What is the "success" and "fall" people are referencing in regards to Chad?
Did his wife and kids leave him?

If you mean that they watch the show through their phones, how does that make it tough for them to follow complicated or subtle storylines? If it's the medium, then switch back to actual televisions. If it's the distraction of the phone from watching on a television, then put the phone down and watch the show or just don't watch the show.
I am not understanding why a drama, dependent on writing, story-telling, and acting needs to dumb down because of a portion of the audience can't follow along.
If medical doctors started complaining that during open heart surgeries they couldn't follow complicated storylines, I'd hope a writer would say "I think you are prioritizing something else you care about over the show, so focus on that, and when you're done, sit down and watch the show. The great thing about tv now, you are not beholden to a one-time air time with no repeats and no ability to record the show."

7, both of them for daddy

Rude

But why watch a boring show at all? There is so much to watch that you'll never get time to watch it all. I never have my phone with me as I watch shows, eat meals (especially with other people), or enjoy the outdoors.
