Mr. Selfridge, Series Four (2015)
As we move into the weekend, today I was over on Silver Petticoat adding to their fabulous review archives of period dramas. The particular drama I featured had opportunity to feature was the fourth season of Mr. Selfridge.
Magnificent though it is visually, this was one series I was sure I’d not mourn the loss of. But a funny thing happened as my mother and I watched it. As I watched the final installment, I’ll fess up: I had tears in my eyes. What!? I know, that’s crazy, but ’tis true. The ending was so bitter sweetly beautiful that it simply couldn’t be helped. Fortunately (and wisely), the writer’s focused most of their efforts on the characters as they wound through to the final season (ten episodes worth), which I respected greatly.
