Let me start by saying that I was pestered continuously to watch this period show on the BBC by one @redpenandfern but I was behind and couldn’t find anywhere to catch up. Cut to many months later and it’s now available on Amazon Prime. It was binged in two days and I was NOT prepared! I have now encouraged, bribed, pleaded with so many people to watch this amazing show. Okay, let’s be real, I basically live tweeted my viewing of it and talked about it nonstop and annoyed the hell out of people and now we’re all one big happy, devastated, crying, squee-ing, gif posting mess of a family. All of this to say that my time spent spiraling over this show has been on Twitter. I hadn’t even come over to Tumblr to check out pretty videos or gifsets. What is wrong with me?! Fixing that now. Prepare yourselves to be inundated with Romelza goodness. Guys, their chemistry is phenomenal! The characters have depth and layers and imperfections and you feel everything with them; the joy, the pain, the longing, the betrayal, the love, the concern. It’s just so, so….beautiful. And not just Ross and Demelza, all (most) of these characters are more than what you first see. Over eight (that’s right, you only get eight) episodes you learn so much. It’s amazing to be so wrapped up in something in such a short time span, but they won me over completely.
Ross is beautiful and honorable and just and caring and cranky and brooding and loving and giving and stubborn and compassionate and sincere and he doubts himself and wants better. Demelza is feisty and warm and honest and tender and strong and doubtful and she has a huge heart and thinks she isn’t worthy and loves fully and unconditionally and makes and owns up to her mistakes. She is basically a mix between Felicity Smoak and Anne Shirley (and she loves dogs!). Verity is a breath of fresh air and basically the person I want to be. She is kind and non judgmental with an open heart. She wants to love and be loved. She is caring and helpful and wise beyond her years. She is the best friend we all want. I’m going to stop here for now, but know that I also really like Elizabeth. She grew on me and became a character that I could sympathize with. She is stronger than she seems and she truly cares. She surprised me. Oh jeez, this show has ruined me!! Let me just leave you all with this.
