I am loving this third season of Land Girls, it is well acted the stories are good so like what life was like back in that time.
It is a great continuation of the series
Land Girls is a British period drama TV series, commissioned by the BBC to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
Land Girls Series 3 is once again set on the Hoxley estate and in the village of Helmstead, against the backdrop of war weary 1940s Britain. The highly popular drama is based at the run down Pasture Farm and the opulent Hoxley Manor, which is taken over as a hospital when the local military hospital is bombed.
The series continues to follow the lives and loves of the land girls doing their bit for Britain in the Women's Land Army (WLA) as the women work hard on the land, serving their country.
Land Girls Season 3 DVD 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."
