Downton Abbey
Are you sick of hearing about Downton Abbey yet? Well, I’m not. I only just watched the entire first season on January 1st in one sitting. Yes, it is streaming on Netflix and I highly recommend watching it this way. The second season is currently showing on PBS on Sunday nights.
My boyfriend and I were discussing why we think the show is so popular. Aside from the writing, which is very smart, and the beautiful production, I find this show comforting because every character has his or her place. Obviously this is problematic in many ways, but theirs is a world with varied roles, unlike ours where there are too many actors, not enough parts.
Thank you to those of you who expressed an appreciation for my ‘Fear’ post. How is 2012 treating you so far? I’m not complaining about having too many options but here’s the bitch of it: we all know the key to happiness (thanks Steve Jobs) is doing something you love. For some of us, figuring out exactly what that is can be tricky. Even trickier: gathering the motivation and then implementing it effectively.
