Recommended Viewing: North & South

I know I'm a few years late on this, but over the weekend I watched North & South and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. I'd heard of this mini-series for months  now, and have seen how people are devoted to it. Animated gifs, fan fiction, even a entire fan site devoted to it.

This series has everything I love. It's set in Victorian England, features a headstrong heroine and a dashing, stubborn male lead. I really think dashing is putting it mildly here, because Richard Armitage has to be the most handsome man in all of Britain. Seriously.

The story is not just the romance between Margaret & Mr. Thornton, although I do admit that's the best part. The subplots are really interesting as well. The workers of the town rise up and demand their rights, and also the drama regarding Margret's brother. It's so damn good I wish there were more episodes!

If you haven't already seen North & South, it's available for insta-watch on Netflix, and you can download the book for free at the Google eBookstore.
