Today I am linking up with Jen for 7 Quick Takes.

It’s been a busy week and as I mentioned yesterday, I was having a difficult time coping, but I am feeling much better now and have a free 1/2 hour so let’s get to it!

Well, fellow Downton Abbey lovers, it’s that time of year again when we lament that the UK gets to see Season 4 before we do and we figure out ways to watch it online or read all the UK blogs with season details, unless you are like me and try to avoid all spoilers at all costs! I do however, enjoy the teaser trailers I have been seeing.

When I saw the preview trailer from PBS Masterpiece, I was happy to see that Mary is grieving. Not that I am glad that Matthew is gone, (I am still shaking my fists over that one!) but when I was seeing the news about the casting of new love interests for Mary, I was afraid that she (and we) would not be given time to grieve the loss. Her struggles makes it more realistic.

On the plus side, there is no more Bates in jail prolonged drama and plenty of Team Anna&Bates secret looks and stolen kisses. 😉

Here’s another trailer from ENTV

We have to wait until Jan 5th for season 4 to air in the US but in the meantime, you can watch this preview of Masterpiece’s The Paradise, which starts on Sunday, Oct 6.

The preview reminds me a bit of Mr. Selfridge… since it was a period piece set in a retail shop. Let’s hope that this one is better. Mr. Selfridge was a disappointment to me. I like Jeremy Piven but he didn’t seem the right cast for this role and I hated that ALL the characters (including the married once) had no power to keep their pants (or corsets on.) Well, I’ll be hoping for the best anyway. 😉
