Talked Me Into It

Some of my blogging friends like Janssen and Melanie have mentioned their love for Downton Abbey. One of my best friends is incessantly talking about it. Even my mother-in-law, who shuns all things TV and technology, is hooked.

I admit, I've been curious. So when Becky said she was watching (and loving) Downton Abbey, that was the straw that broke the camels back. If Becky is watching Downton Abbey, I must watch Downton Abbey.

(How does it feel to have so much power over me, Becky?)


Over the weekend, I said to my aforementioned best friend, "I guess I have to watch Downton Abbey now." She happened to have season one on DVD from the library (for which the waiting list is 500 people deep), and she stayed up all night Saturday to finish it so I could have it.

I watched the first two episodes last night, and dang! It is good!

The story is compelling.

The characters have depth.

I'm hooked.

    I wish I could be all smug and "I told you about it" about it...but I'm standing on the backs of other Downton pioneers myself.

    But however we got into it - I love it!! Yay that you love it to!

    I have watched a couple of episodes, but I felt like I needed to start from the beginning. I intend to, I just haven't had the chance yet.

    I started a few weeks ago. It's inexplicable, but it's really compelling!
