Absolutely love It!!! I was skeptical at first, but I was hooked after the very first episode! There is something about the premise of the story that was instantly more entertaining that Downton Abbey for me. I'm a huge fan of the Abbey... but that story took a few episodes to draw me in. This one was an instant hit. It always leaves me eagerly waiting for the next episode! Perfect companion for Nexus 10 users. Looks absolutely brilliant on the sharp screen. Great show to have on the go.

Great show. Google rip-off It's just great how Google charges for PBS shows. You can watch them on the PBS site for free.
JIM FREEMAN
Start of a new department store tradition. Good... a little overdramatic. Excellent production value.
Carolyn Parrillo
Mr selfridge This show is vastly underrated. The characters are rich and colorful and the storyline does not disappoint. In my opinion, it is much more interesting than Downton Abby.

Of course you have to pay, genius Wow just wow, did you see the one star review from the genius who was mad that you had to pay for movies and tv? It makes me embarrassed to be a human. Great, show once again the UK showing hiw they make better TV than America. Oh and this isnt PBS it is BBC which allows PBS to air it months after it already aired in the UK, geniuses.
