I started watching it while Hubby was out of town for work. By the time he got back, I was enthralled with the story line, the clothes, the luxurious surroundings, etc. It reminded me of books I read as a girl about the English countryside filled with fog and rain, proper English shoes for the wet ground, and the drab but still fascinating lives of the downstairs servants. Very quickly, Hubby became interested, too, and we spent hours enjoying every single episode. I’m glad to have a husband who would be willing to give the show a try . . even with his John Wayne mindset that might have precluded such a ‘tea and toast’ environment. We’re very glad it’s back.
My manly DH will watch it with me too especially if I feed him scones and lemon curd.
