This business with the two getting married has now dragged through three episodes. If you've read past reviews of mine, I have a couple of real prejudices. At the top of the list is being forced to watch two of the characters get married. I agree with the person who said what a tiresome plot element this is. Also the the ring business. For heaven's sake. Another thing that bothers me a bit is the whole drinking thing. The whole community seems to be OK with getting so drunk you don't even know where you are. On the eve of your wedding you end up in a barn, covered with hay. If this were the only time, I could pass on it, but drunkenness seems to be at the center of some many things. That pub is the refuge. We have enough glorification of drunkenness in this country. People apparently find it funny. Having lived with a family ruled by an alcoholic, it isn't. Are they telling us that life is so awful that they need to get hammered every chance they get. One other issue is the war that is coming. Has England declared a state of war at this juncture? It was a bit disconcerting to see recruiters roaming the streets, intimidating people. I'm sure the English came to the fore when the war as actually at their doorstep. This seemed harsh. I will be interested to see where this goes. As for the cow being euthanized, it's part of the whole issue of wanting to stay in this community. The young farmer who is all gung ho and judgmental is interesting.
