Downton Abbey, Merlin – New Seasons

Downton Abbey – series 2 is already out. We left series 1 on the bombshell of WWI starting. I really like Downton Abbey with Dame Maggie Smith playing the awesome role of Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham.
I’d highly recommend the series  to anyone. It’s right up there with Game of Thrones by HBO.

Now Merlin series 4. Also a great TV show. More geared towards the kids. But none the less a great show all-over. King Arthur has aged since I last saw him in series 3. It could be the haircut, but he looks a bit older. Merlin however looks the same. Great actors in the show, and hopefully Morganna wont have as big a role. My main gripe is her, I hate her character and the person playing it. Be the directors having her grinning in the background – whatever. They truly annoy me with her character and the actress playing it.

Both are great TV shows none-the-less. Both are available on BBC-iView I believe. In Australia – ABC (not sure about Downton though).
Go ahead and watch them.

In other news – I finished watching the whole of 24, and I must admit that is also an epic TV show. So if you haven’t watched it – go do it. Pity about it ending though. I really like Kiefer Sutherland
