Xtreme TV Summer continues rolling along. Having bid farewell to Coach Taylor and Friday Night Lights, I began my new binge show: Psych but then was interrupted by Downton Abbey Season Three becoming available for free streaming on Amazon. I have no rational reason for loving this show beyond it being extremely well done. It’s akin to nothing I normally watch. Perhaps it’s my English heritage asserting itself. Downton Abbey is so British it’s like mainlining tea off the back of a Manchester United jersey while humming “God Save the Queen”. I’ll watch anything with Maggie Smith; she’s one of the greatest actresses of our age. I also note my diction and vocabulary tend to improve and I verge on maddeningly polite after watching a season. It’s basically the polar opposite of what happens after I watch a season of Sons of Anarchy.
