LARK RISE TO CANDLEFORD - TV SERIES REVIEW


My husband says I am a sucker for anything with an English accent and he may be right.  I don't watch TV, except for Masterpiece Theatre and somehow I missed the "Larkrise to Candleford" series which shows on Saturday evening here on PBS.  After a couple of friends asked if I was watching it I decided to use my Netflix membership to order a disc and give it a peek.  A month and 23 hours later I have watched both season one and two.  I finished the final one with Maren last night, who spent some time with me last week and watched 12 hours herself.  My friend Carole Turner had a copy of season 2, which was good because Netflix said they had a "long wait" for the first disc of season two.  Today I am missing my Larkrise friends and feeling sad that I don't have my daily encounter with them to look forward to.  This is kinda "Little House on the Prarie" in two English hamlets in 1895, only a lot better.  There is a lot of wisdom in the stories.  A friend told me this week that it is "therapy" for her.  Each one hour segment is a different story but the people, their lives and interactions carry from episode to episode.  I have to say that the last episode left me disappointed and wanting so I am sure there will be a season 3.  5 stars...pure delight!
