My boss and I are both big Harry Potter fans. The other day I was telling her that my Professor McGonagall, played by Dame Maggie Smith, was one of my favorite characters. Upon hearing this, she told me that Smith was in a new show called Downton Abbey and it seemed like something I would like. It's a British drama about a family that lives on an estate called Downton Abbey; it is set in the early 1900s. The show covers long stretches of time per episode. The first two seasons cover ten years.
How right she was! I am in love with this show. It is helping me make it through the SEVEN WEEK hiatus Glee will be on until April 10th.
In Downton Abbey, Smith plays a matriarch with very old fashioned values and a -- let's say unique-- worldview. The video below is a compilation of some of her wittier moments. I hope you all check it out. The first season in available on Netflix.
