I'm so happy when I find a show I like and I'm only on Season 1. My new show to sew to is
Lark Rise to Candleford. Not to be confused with Cranford with Judi Dench (which I also love). Lark Rise takes place in the 1890's in Oxfordshire. It takes place in Larkrise, which is a country Hamlet and Candleford, which is a small town expanding with the times.
The narrator is Laura Timmens, a poor girl from the hamlet, who goes to stay with her mother's cousin Dorcus, the owner of the Candleford post office. This show does what BBC costume shows do best, pathos. Laughing through tears, crying or just plain laughing. It's nice from a costuming standpoint because there are different social strata represented, from the workhouse girl to the country squire. It also stars some old favorites. Brendan Coyle:

| Hellloooooo Mr. Bates |
Julia Sawalha:

| Saffron Darling, Saffron Sweetheart |
and Ben Miles:
 |
| Patrick from the British "Coupling" not to be confused with the horrible US show of the same name. |

I can't tell you if anything horrible happens because Im only on Season 1, but if you have Amazon Prime you can watch it streaming for free.
