"And I corrected him. No woman is equal of a man-- she is his superior in every single case."
Miss. Deborah Jenkyns.
This is one of my favorite tv shows. If I am feeling down, stressed from work, or stifled from the hustle and bustle of living in the city, I turn Cranford on. It instantly makes me happy.
It's based on three novellas by Elizabeth Gaskell published between 1849 and 1858. The two main characters, Ms. Deborah Jenkyns (Eileen Atkins) and her younger sister, Ms. Matty Jenkyns (Judi Dench), are two spinsters in a small village of Cranford. The stories evolve around their friends and neighbors in town when changes are abound. It's filled with gossip, propriety, and maintenance of gentility and manners while truly caring for your neighbors and friends.
Not only is the story so heart warming and the script so witty, but also the acting is superb. How can you go wrong with multiple dames -- Dame Judi Dench and Dame Eileen Atkins-- and a sir-- Sir Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore)? Jim Carter (Carson from Downton Abbey) and Imelda Staunton (Dolores Umbridge) are, as usual, amazing.
It's available on Amazon.
