I simply can't stop watching

I simply can't stop watching  Downton Abbey and I am continuing to be quite convinced that I was born in the wrong decade. I suppose I should be grateful that I wan't born into the time of WWII, rationing, and Spanish Influenza. Though, I can't help but long for the elegant evening gowns, chivalry of courting, and fantastically planned dinner parties. The Masterpiece Collection does a fantastic job of presenting the glamorous side of life in the early 1900s, without hiding the harsh realities faced in such times, expertly weaving tales of love, blackmail, sickness, life, wealth, and poverty. The costumes, sets, and language transport the audience back in time as well as any DeLorean could. And I can't say that I mind getting pulled into the cool blue eyes of Matthew Crawley every Sunday evening.

Sadly I am finally caught up, after being episodes behind, and I now find myself at the end of the current season. Season three, hurry up please!


All in all its a dream that I'm happy to be caught up in, check it out, and get caught up before the next season is upon us!
