If you are a lover of BBC then this is a must see. To be blunt, Aiden Turner is a powerful presence reminiscent of Benedict. He has put the dwarf behind him. I wasn't sure they would find him a female match but the female lead had my heart when she tackled the old man for stealing the cake. She has a strong presence. They fit. The support cast is by and large amazing. I love them all even the tavern whore and Ross' villainous stalker. See it to know what I am talking about.

I think I completely agree with the person who stated that PBS is supposed to be free because it is funded by donations and and the government I believe. However it's a free anymore LOL so it's no different then Starz HBO etc etc and the worst part is I have a fire stick so I pay for the PBS Maserpiece app on my fire stick and there a we never had to pay for TV we didn't have to pay for this box that box in the other box we didn't have to pay for Wi-Fi and internet I do believe PBS was but itfree

This "IS" my all time favorite show. The story is so compellingly addictive to me. The acting is superb. I look forward to each and every episode. I thought it was through last season. I was so happy when it came back. I hate that its done in small blocks of episodes I would like to see it as a continuous series. The story line leaves you wishing it just wouldnt end, every ending. Give me MORE
