Correction.

Downton Abbey (2010-2013)

(I'm still bitter over Mary's story in the final season, in case you couldn't tell.)

Mary was a queen and the general public was not worthy of her flawlessness.

Peaky Blinders, ofc. Gonna watch S4 this weekend!

I am four episodes into S1 of The Crown and enjoying that as well.

I am so hooked on Peaky Blinders even if I had major issues with s4

Not enough Michael? I hope Finn Cole’s schedule lets him be in S5 but he’s getting movie leads now and is tied into Animal Kingdom. He seems to love PB though so hopefully can squeeze it in.

Even though I’m still annoyed with things that happened in S3, I still love the show

I liked Emma with Romola Garai ❤️

Romola Garai was the perfect Emma.

Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan is an amazing film.

I have to think that DA is #1 only because it is done. Otherwise, even though I loved it, it went to shit, the cast was to big for them to properly handle and I still dont forgive them for killing off characters for no good reason.

The two big deaths were the actors wanting out. There’s always that risk with British tv as the makers can’t afford to tie people into contracts.
