Generally speaking I'm pretty drawn to these kind of period pieces. I love to imagine what life would have been like as a woman, or as a woman living with chronic pain, or just a human living in a different time in history. So often I'm frustrated with modern life, discouraged by how disconnected I feel with nature. On the other hand I benefit a great deal from many somewhat modern conveniences like indoor plumbing, air-conditioning, heat and, of course, my medications.
There is, of course, no way to really know what it would have been like any time but now, but I do really enjoy imagining.
I love historical/time period shows, movies, and books. I swear I saw this advertised, and meant to watch it but missed it. I'm going to have to check this out!
ReplyDeleteI love historical period shows and movies and books too! I often wonder what it would be like to live in those time periods, however, like you, I am rather attached to modern day conveniences like plumbing, heating and A/C, electricity, and medicine. I would like to visit for a day or so and then come home.

I have loved watching this series, which, by the way, you can view episode-by-episode at pbs.org. I am now a Maggie Smith (she playes the Dowager Countess) fan.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Season III. And especially because I understand Shirley MacLaine is to play Lady Grantham's (American) mother. How much fun will it be to see her tangle with Maggie Smith?
