Buzz-worthy TV
In case you missed Downton Abbey, which premiered in January 2011 on Masterpiece Classic, PBS, you might like to catch up by watching the first season's episodes on DVD. The second season is due for DVD release on February 7, before the season finale is broadcast on TV. If you are looking for wonderful period-piece viewing, which comes complete with an oh-so-civil brand of 'class warfare', this one's for you.If we may, suggest you pair your viewing experience with Below Stairs : the Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir by Margaret Powell. The author served as a maid in several stately homes in 1920's England.
Owing to the generosity of a local patron, we've acquired all six seasons of the HBO crime drama The Wire, which offers a hard look at life in a modern American city, in this case west Baltimore. The series was broadcast from 2002-2008 and won several notable honors including Edgar, Peabody, and Writers Guild awards. Adult fans of realistic crime dramas will a find high-quality, though gritty viewing experience here.
Also On the Way
More patron generosity will find you able to view the full range of past season episodes of Showtime's Dexter series, based on the novels by Jeffry Lindsay. With so many requests for the AMC series, Breaking Bad, we're working on this one, too.
