However, having said that, I will still be glued to the TV screen for the rest of the season. It's a really interesting time frame they are going into, basically the fall of the gentry and the rise of the common man ..............
Maybe after three deaths and burdensome plots about a bi-racial love story and a sexual assaut it was time to take a short break.
