goldy_dollar has gone off to tumblrland, where she tells me that it's fashionable to place birds artfully in screencaps. And because I never want to be left out of a trend:

It took me a bit to get into it, but it hooked me around the third episode or so. The great thing about the writing for this is that often I thought something very predictable would happen, but then it didn't. It was nice not knowing exactly what would happen next.

The best thing, not only in this show but quite possibly in existence, was Maggie Smith vs. Penelope Wilton.

aka Professor McGonagall vs. Harriet Jones
Yes, this is as awesome as you imagine it to be.

There were quite a few other interesting characters as well, including a burgeoning suffragette, a valet with a past, and a socialist radical. But even though there was a wide range of characters, it made it really clear that pretty much everyone's lives were not their own. That included the upper classes.

But just when I got really into the story, it ended! BAH! S2 won't air until fall. At least it's fall of this year. *eyes UK TV*
