Well no show is for everybody

Just out of curiosity, has anyone caught the PBS show Secrets of Highclair Castle? I saw it last night & I enjoyed it.

Yes, I saw the second half of it on Sunday and the first half on repeat on Monday. It was really good and I didn't make the King Tut connection at all until they exposed it. I thought it was fascinating how they kept the estate in running order in modern times, and the comparisons in staff levels.

We can hope that the show will inspire more vintage styles by clothing companies.

Poor Edith.

Poor Edith.

I know.. i had a bad feeling about that, really.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

So does she have cancer or not?

Also, just as I was beginning to like the character of Thomas at the end of last season...

Me too. If they make Edith out to be a tragic character just for her past sins, it might make me stop watching. I fear that is what they are going to do to her. I know in real life things don't always work out fairly, but darn it, this is fiction and I like my fiction happier than this!

Just wait...

Just wait...

I accidentally saw a spoiler about what is to come. I hate when that happens.

 

[sheeplady]

Just wait...

Dammit! I had a premonition about this... I won't share it, but it's incredibly tragic and dark and I really don't think they'd do that. If actually happens, I might stop watching. Really crossing my fingers here.

dark dark dark.

I read some of the spoilers online earlier. I will be rather annoyed if they follow through with some of them.

Wasn't Edith's wedding dress beautiful? I thought it was prettier than Mary's. I must admit this past episode does seem pretty soap opera-ish. I actually like Edith the best, she seems more dimensional to me. Mary is uptight and Sybil seems too sweet.

Agreed on all counts. I would add that Mary's gotten a little snotty and Sybil's kind become a bit of a doormat to her husband... I miss the old Sybil who had her own ideas about things and spoke up.
