I am a sucker for Masterpiece on PBS. I've been watching the three "episodes" of the new Sherlock series over and over again, hoping they show more. And now they have a new series, premiered last night, called Downton Abby. And it was so awesome! It is set in the early 1900s, and begins immediately after the Titanic sinks, taking along with it the heir to the property (through entailment). Now the gentleman of the house must decide what to do for his three daughters.
One of the reasons I love British productions like this, is because I usually recognize about 75% of the cast! From other PBS-type programming, or mainstream stuff because - as I like to joke - just like in Canada, there are only 2 dozen actors in the UK.
I highly recommend checking out this program. Great stories, great actors, and I have a feeling (a hunch) that there will be some scandals and some tragedies and some love stories as well. Much better than anything the movie theatre has to offer nowadays.
