Welcome back to another season ofThe Durrells in Corfu. I'll be recapping the events, both touching and comical, that take place over the next eight episodes. I'm looking forward to hearing your insights and opinions about the characters and storylines. If you need to refresh your memory about what happened during season 2, you can take peruse my previous recaps right here.

Upon our return to Corfu this week, we discover life in the Durrell household hasn’t really changed that much. Larry (Josh O'Connor) is writing his third novel, but his publisher wants him to use a pseudonym because his last book sold so badly. Margo (Daisy Waterstone) has broken up with her boyfriend Zoltan because the family begged her to and now needs to find a new distraction. Love is in the air for Leslie (Callum Woodhouse) and Gerry (Milo Parker) still has his vast menagerie of native fauna. Last but not least, Louisa (Keeley Hawes) has decided to give up on love and content herself with being a happy, busy widow which is code for interfering in her children’s lives when they would rather she butt out.
