I've been worried about Peter all series, but making him terminally ill still wouldn't be in the spirit of the series (and thank God). I was pleased with the raft twist at the end, a funny ending came out. And what a smart guy Lyle is in this episode, it's usually kind of awkward for him, but then he just got proud!

The resourceful and cheerful head of a small law firm in a small provincial town takes an extremely responsible approach to solving any, even the most unusual problems of his many friends, acquaintances and neighbors.

The series features one main character, Peter Kingdom, a conscientious and extremely obliging lawyer, a jack-of-all-trades lawyer who cannot do only two things: refuse to help a neighbor and discipline the careless employees of his office. Residents of the entire town take advantage of his noble responsiveness and reliability and, without hesitation, burden him with their troubles and troubles, while often hiding some details. And although these other people's troubles are far from direct legal duties, Peter honestly helps everyone, despite the fact that he has his own, quite serious family problems, which, however, pass into the background and serve only as a hidden intrigue linking rather independent episodes.

It was well shot, the stories were interesting, there was a lot of irony, the picture was pleasant, sunny, the views were postcard-like, the town was a bit toy-like. They play well, Stephen Fry shines both by himself and with his ties, and the other characters are very lively and cute. Most of the cases, for all their personal significance and urgency, are quite comical, also some kind of toy, cute and trifling, it's enviable. Overall, I have a very favorable and positive impression.

Language. They say it's generally understandable, especially with subtitles. I didn't notice any heavy slang or an indecipherable regional accent.
