A while ago we watched the Danish classic Matador for the umpteenth time, then a Danish crime series set right after WWII, Edderkoppen, which was very interesting indeed, and now we're in the middle of the wonderful British television series Downton Abbey.

We're admittedly bad at following television series on a regular basis, which usually disqualifies us from watching them as they are "supposed" to be watched, and, as a result, dvd boxes have become our favourite way of watching. This also means that we might watch one episode per day (or more) if we want to and have the time, which, from our point of view, is great. The period we watch one particular television series is condensed. Subsequently, T. and I easily remember the entire plot, analyse the characters and what is happening and have long conversations about the actors' performances, the costumes, the environments, the political or social context, the believability of the plot and other important issues. It does indeed feel luxurious.
