And who didn't want to just crawl into one of the velvety folds of Maggie Smith's face and take a nap? But the second season was completely unwatchable to the point where I honestly thought it was a joke that the British were playing on American audiences. I don't think that's the case though? It's actually supposed to be taken seriously? But it's awful. Just pure schlock.
