| | | | I'm not ashamed to admit I watch it. It's basically a soap opera with very high production values. I do think Season 3 is leaning toward being a great looking but predictably melodramatic snoozefest so far though. |

|  | The older I get, the better I was. | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pasadena, CA | | | My wife has been a fan since the beginning, and this seaon I decided to join her. It has taken me a little while to figure out who the characters are, but I'm enjoying the story. The production and acting quality are hard to ignore. I'm most amused by the snipes, jabs, and other sarcastic one-liners offered by Maggie Smith's character. |

What I gathered is that bad things happen to poor people and good things happen to rich people unless they are acted upon by poor people. All staring the cast of Harry Potter.

|  | Dangerous User | | Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Fort Wayne, IN | | | I am never "stuck" watching anything. My wife and I have our own TV's, and if we watch a show together, it's because we both like it. I used to have a girlfriend who insisted I watch crap I didn't like with her, and after a very acrimonious split, I decided I was done with that forever, and I am.

Visually amazing, good acting, and decent story line.
Started watching Season 3, and both my wife and I are 'done'. +1... story line has gotten old and schmaltzy. |
