Proper Attitude

I am planning on checking out Downtown Abbey, at some point, but Damian Lewis and Gina McKee are fantastic in The Forsyte Saga. The series is a soap opera (remember those?), way better than anything involving the Kardashians. Lewis is especially diabolical as the character of Soames, a despicable husband to McKee's Irene Heron. Sigh, the days when books, the theater, opera, and dancing superseded all forms of entertainment, and it took at least a few days for news to get anywhere. Whereas now, we have knowledge of what international policymakers had for lunch in mere hours. Or if not, someone knows somewhere and will post as such in the very near future. The allure of incessant voyeurism should wear off at some point, at least. Here's hoping.
