I think I must be in a really picky mood. Nothing has managed to grab me (aside from Pan Am, and I really hope it gets renewed).

Behaving Badly. It has Judi Dench in it. Ten minutes in, you really couldn't tell it was about her character, as gossiping old ladies and her ex-husband had more lines.

Upstairs, Downstairs. The original. I lasted 15 minutes before boredom sent me back to the list of things to watch.

Downton Abbey. Do the women ever actually do anything? They seem to mostly stand around saying little (or talking about men) while the men have the bulk of the conversations and narrative. I lasted almost half an hour before boredom finally drove me away.

Land Girls. Netflix tells me I lasted 19 minutes before giving up in annoyance. (oh, look, the uppercrust girl will fall into some cowpies! Again! When it's happened four times, it's gone beyond "she's clumsy" to "lol, women thinking they can do anything but pop out babies and cook for men")

idk. I think Pan Am, Bomb Girls and Call the Midwife spoiled me.
