Over the break and since, I've watched the following:
Still watching Downton in American time, so we're about 1/2 way through the season.
and some of this:
What can I say, I'm loving them. I don't know why they seem so much more complex and deeper than a lot of the American shows on TV right now. I have to give the edge to Luther for crime dramas. As a forever fan of Law and Order: SVU, it's slowly losing me while I just can't get enough of Luther. The characters are complex and so well written and acted. It's highly recommended by me!
Also, I had to wonder. For all my parent friends out there, do you ever have those moments where it just hits you that you yourself are not a child anymore and that you're someone's parent? It's so crazy, because even at 32 years old, I still get the passing (and very brief) feeling that I'm still just a kid. Like when I started to feel ill last night, I went into my son's room and grabbed a stuffed animal, because cuddling with it at night made me feel better. Or I sometimes get that "hurt feelings" feeling when someone says something to you the wrong way or when something makes you flash back to a moment in your childhood where you felt bad. For a moment you feel like a kid again. Then reality smacks you in the face and you realize "Oh, God, I'm responsible for 2 human beings! When did that happen?"
Always amazes me how time flies.....
