Downton Abbey

SB & I started watching this after it won so many awards at the Emmys; we were curious to see what beat Mildred Pierce. Mildred Pierce was fantastic, but this show is exquisite! It’s perfect! It totally deserved all the awards it won. It’s one of those rare shows were everything is perfectly spot-on - the acting, the writing, the direction, costumes, cinematography - everything! The show is full of gorgeous women too. There’s a trio of bewitching sisters (pictured here & reminding us constantly of Scarlett O’Hara & her sisters), Elizabeth McGovern, as pretty as she’s every been & lovely lady maids who help the girls tighten their corsets & pin their hair & tend to women the way I like to tend to a woman - reverently & in costume. Swoon! We’re halfway through series 1 & are completely immersed in its world.

Series 2 is currently airing in the UK on ITV1, series 2 will premiere in North America on PBS on January 8th, 2012
