Sometimes I wonder, as I'm sobbing over the death of yet another character in one of the British tv shows I watch, if this is healthy. Is it good for me to watch shows that draw me in so easily, that captivate me, get me attached to the characters to the point where when they're in pain I hurt for them or if they die I'm left crying my eyes out? And yet that's what makes them so fantastic, because they can do that. Because they make you feel something, look at the world in a different light. Because some of the things the characters say make you really think, make you look at your life differently. They let you dream, let you believe even a little bit that maybe those amazing things you see episode after episode could be real. There's something special about that.
