The fever began last year when my bestie, Laura, told me she was watching some fabulous show on Masterpiece. I decided to grab a couple episodes off of Netflix and see what all the hype was about. Yep, Laura honed in on my weakness for the time period, the writing, humor, heartache, and characters who make this show uniquely superior to most any other. I was hooked! I binge watched two seasons over a couple weeks during the holiday and then impatiently waited for the third season to arrive via Netflix every few days and between business trips so that I could catch up.When Season 3 concluded, I found myself emotionally touched by the circumstances of the most recent tragedy. All I wanted was another episode! Downton had become my addiction. Then the BAD news...I would have to wait for nearly a full year until I could find out what happens next. Are these people insane! Do they not understand that our culture doesn't WAIT for ANYTHING anymore. A year? Really?! So I did it. Cold-turkey. Avoiding the spoilers on-line (but soooo wanting to read them). Now the wait is over!
Time to bake up some tea cakes and brew some Earl Grey in preparation for this impending event! Cheers!;)
Did you enjoy the first episode of Season 4? I did. So glad it's back on. And addiction of mine also. I found your "binge" comment funny because that is EXACTLY what I did last summer!
