What: A long holiday weekend is looming in the U.S., and you know what that means, right? Right, it means time for a British miniseries. This is eminently appropriate behavior for celebrating our independence . . . from the British.
Berkeley Square is about three young women working as nannies in London's West End in 1902. So, right there, you've got class struggles and family drama and early-Edwardian repression in the basic setup. Add on illegitimate children and accidental deaths and kidnapping attempts and doomed adultery, and you're set for the weekend.
You might not like it if: You rage against the ending. I personally threw something at the TV after the last scene.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Berkeley Square was part of Personal Wreck Week: List #1. And I also made a whole list of Content That Has Actually Caused Me to Throw Something Across a Room (List #26).
