I still really loved series 2. Just go into it with the knowledge that time passes super fast and there are some soap opera type plots, and hopefully you'll be able to enjoy it.

An important addendum to the speed of time passing is that the years flip by while the plot does not, so you get Mary waffling on agreeing to an engagement for several years (and thus the guy also waiting in a stalled-out non-relationship all that time, too), and Sibyl and Branson having the exact same conversation about their relationship for years, and so on. There's, like, a year's worth of plot, and it's stretched to cover 4 or 5 years (eta: in order to get WW1 out of the way in one season), and character development that would otherwise just be soapy but normal enough is utterly, unrealistically stagnant.

(The Christmas special was back on track, I thought, though.)

Hah, that sounds annoying. But so long as it's not Tudors-style "It's 1914! No, it's 1918! Now it's 1916! Just kidding, we're back in 1914, but only until we can go to 1915!" leapfrogging between years and events, I think I can deal.

Thanks! I think I will watch it, then. So long as no one else tries to force a miscarriage, I'll probably be good on the soap opera plots.
