    I'm completely in love with this show. I watched the first season on Netflix in December and was excited that I wouldn't have to wait too long for the second season.

    Just a heads up, the first couple of seasons are free with Amazon Prime. I've been watching on my Kindle. I love it. I'm finding it hard not to resume watching right now, but I have to get to work.

    I'm doomed when the free ones end. There's the catch.

    Edit, looks like there's just one free of the second season. I'm really doomed!

    There's a bunch of season 2 episodes on PBS' website.

    I just started watching season 1 on Netflix a couple weeks ago. Slowly getting pulled into it. I'm mostly enjoying the little moments of comic relief. Watched Ep 4 last night, got a kick out of Maggie Smith's character's first ride in a swivel chair.

    Agree, it's a great show. An updated "Upstairs Downstairs," but different enough that it doesn't feel like a remake. For those who watched Upstairs Downstairs, the actress who played Ruby recently passed away.

    I've heard that the original BBC version (available on DVD) is better than what is shown on PBS here. I'm not sure this is true, but this friend of mine is addicted to it and swears they are two different versions. I've gone ahead and netflix'ed season two so we can see the British version.

    Can't wait for the next season of Mad Men to start!

    Actually I think the difference between the UK and US versions is the length of each episode. They're just under an hour in the US but were longer in the UK. Nothing has been cut out, they just end the episodes at different points.

    I rented the first two episodes of season 1 from Netflix and there was no difference from what I saw on TV.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I agree with Sadiekate, I love the show but P. Gordon Stinks and it's starting to go over the top a bit. That said, I'm still excited to watch the next episode!!
