Have you been watching the show?
Yes! And keep meaning to read any of their books, but haven't yet. I assume Larry's books are actually insufferable?
dcp, the joke was that Capt Holt was using a Durrells in Corfu reaction gif in the group chat.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The group chat that is not back.

I do not know "Durrells in Corfu" and keep thinking it is a reference to that Star Trek ep where the aliens speak in metaphor or something gibberish and is forever being quoted.

I never watched Star Trek (any of the variations), and yet people quote that episode so much that I know it, and I know vaguely what the quote is supposed to convey. (Just like I know way too much about Doctor Who for someone who has only watched 2 episodes out of the entire 2 billion episodes and 500 Doctors. If people post about something enough on FB, I will pick it up by osmosis.)
Although I have no idea what Durrells in Corfu is.

Exactly Steph. I never watched Star Trek and can never remember what the phrases from that ep were meant to convey, but I've seen them so much it has just seeped into my brain.
There is a lot of fandom stuff like that for me.

Ha! I wish it were that.
I'm glad you all are confirming that no one gets this joke -- Durrells in Corfu is a PBS show about a British family who move to Corfu in the 1930s and have gentle adventures. Two of the actual Durrells are authors (Lawrence and Gerald), including the one whose memoir is the basis for the show.

Initially I was mixing them up with that father-daughter country duo the Kendalls.

I am imagining Holt saying "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" and that would be very satisfying
