I made it about half way through the first season of Orphan Black but was just too daft for words.
I watched a few episodes of Downton Abbey but found it too bland and formulaic for my taste.
I've nothing against 'costume' dramas but prefer to watch Remains Of The Day or Gosford Park.
The producers of Downton Abbey have correctly gambled that no one is around who is old enough to remember the original Upstairs Downstairs.
I'm watching The Americans and Nashville. I know Nashville is straight soap opera but I like it anyway.
Other soaps, maybe that's too broad a term, I'm addicted to are Chicago Fire, featuring the delectable Gabby, and Chicago PD.
