I do like Once Upon a Time too even though it can be very cheesy lol.
I kind of want to check out Homeland a bit more. I watched the pilot episode when it aired on TV the other day and think I could maybe get into it, but I don't know. It still didn't give me that 'want more' feeling.
It's kind of funny, in general, I actually like and prefer slower-paced, very character driven real life type movies, but I guess my shows have to keep my attention and be a bit more fast paced if they're going to keep me for more than a 2 hour movie, ya know?
I do like history a lot, always have, but don't know a lot about British history, so I think I'm still going to give DA a chance... maybe learn something.
lol just found this list, never seen any of these, maybe I'll have to try and watch these 5 TV Shows to Watch Now that Breaking Bad is Gone - IGN |
Hello you!
From what I've learned about you, over the years (!!!
!!!) I'm not too sure that Downton is your 'cup of tea'. But I might be totally wrong!
Jeanie's totally right - either the era and pace and slow evolution of the characters grab you - or they don't! The settings, the clothes, the manners, and the complete 'above/below stairs', are portrayed to perfection.
It doesn't really pick up pace, but might be worth sticking with (just for a little while - I know life's too short!!!
) - I actually find it very calming...I promise you we don't still dress like that here - but some of the mentality still remains in 'upper class' British households....
