SPOILER ALERT. This show is one of my top 10 favorites of all time. It has everything... sex, romance, period dramatics, violence & best of all, a wonderfully self-aware, raunchy sense of humor. My only complaint is that Jessica Findlay Brown left for a show that turned out to be a flop when she could've stayed for another season (or more) and really made this show one of the best series of all time. I fear the depressing storyline of season 3 due to Charlotte's untimely departure (who let's be completely frank, was the star of the show) is what prevented it from becoming not only a critical success but a hit with a massive following as well. I will forever treasure it but wish more people knew about it also.
