This is a gentle series that allows one to escape the modern world t0 a much earlier time. The actors are excellent and do a fine job capturing the period. It has so much more moral value than much that assaults us over the airwaves. I have to smile broadly when the postmistress, Dorcas. pronounces her catch phrase, "It is my one true fault." It is priceless over the four seasons. I' m sorry that it is over after 4 seasons, but it certainly ended on an upbeat note that satisfied.
