This is not my usual blog post but I had to share. Downton Abbey is the new love of my life. I am utterly addicted - it is unhealthy.
About four days ago I wanted to watch something, saw Downton on Netflix and decided to watch it. I had seen a lot of people talk about it and I didn't think I would fall in love but I did give it a go. Needless to say, I'm hooked.
I am already on episode 7 of season 3 - and can safely say I will finish it by tomorrow. I am justifying this by the fact that season 4 is coming out this autumn and I have to finish season 3 before it starts so I can watch it real time. Of course I have a month to finish it and don't have to watch a season a day, but I love it okay!
It is not the most educational, or thought provoking TV show but good lord it is addictive. As a huge Maggie Smith fan I couldn't be happier with Violet. She is fantastic and her cutting comments make the show for me. I am madly in love with Mathew and I am not even sure why. Without any spoilers I will say sybil *is* my favourite daughter and although I find Mary slightly frustrating I love her with Mathew. Carson is a favourite too and overall although there are some slightly dodgy plot lines I couldn't be happier with it. I love the English aristocracy and the whole shebang. If only I could live like that! The showing of the time is accurate (in my belief) and the potrayal of WW1 was nothing if not moving.
I love it and I highly recommend. All three seasons are on netflix and it is a must-watch.
Have a great day!
Update: I finished and I am devestated, DEVESTATED. No details but I can never look at the writers the same way again. DEVESTATED
