Davies was ahead of his time with the concept for this show, much of which seems more like something one would find on air now. I was so disappointed to find out that, not only is this nearly 20 years off air, but that there are only two seasons. This show has so much going on for viewers. Yes, the first three episodes are a bit tedious. But SOOOOOO worth it. I'm in the middle of season two and absolutely heartbroken that there isn't more coming. While I already respected Davies and his work on Dr. Who, this really trumps some of that. And if you are familiar with his Dr. Who work, you know that a Davies episode is going to take everything you know, or think you know, and turn it on it's head. This show does that every scene. And you are there going "wait, no, no, he didn't, he just didn't, NOOOOOOO!" and loving every minute of it while he does it. Unlike many other period dramas, this one really keeps true to the time. The characters, the dress, the 1920s, it's all so expertly crafted.
