You may have noticed, dear readers, that I have a thing for costume dramas. To be honest, I am kind of obsessed with them (I'm a nerd, I know). Which is why I'm surprised that I didn't hear of Lark Rise to Candleford until last week. I had been wondering what on earth could possibly be better than a BBC miniseries set in 19th-century England, but now I know the answer...a full-on BBC SERIES set in 19th-century England. Naturally, I Netflixed that bad boy as soon as it popped up in my suggestion box. The show centers on the character of Laura Timmins, a girl from the tiny hamlet of Lark Rise who moves to the "big city" of Candleford to work in the post office that is run by her unfortunately-named but otherwise awesome cousin, Dorcas Lane. What ensues is class conflict, star-crossed love, and hamlet hijinks. Love it, love it.
