Oh, I loved the show (once I embraced the very loose modern-day interpretation of 18th century Britain) ... didn't read the books and, although I've heard they are even better than the screen version - not going to because a) what if they are not and I'll be disappointed and won't like the show as a result???? b) what if they are and I'll be disapointed and won't like the show as a result?????
and oh, I will soooo miss Rene Jean Page's character!
