One good thing about the show is that it is supposed to be set in North Yorkshire, where I live, and I was unaware of the number of Country Houses in the area.

Now, is this the same as produced Virgin Queen? At least I thought Virgin Queen did better than The Tudors, which I felt took huge liberties....but to me, this show is a popcorn muncher in the best sense. It's a soap opera, nothing more. But a damn good one, and i'm enjoying it to pieces. Just starting season 2.
