If one year's back on my shoulder
Not having read any of the source novels, approximately twenty minutes into the first series of Poldark (1975–77) as I lay on the couch self-medicating with the late eighteenth century, I remarked to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch, "Is there any aspect of this homecoming that is not going to be a clusterfuck?" on which the answer turned out to be no, whence it seems the engine of the plot. Since I came to this show by having to wait for the third season of Turn: Washington's Spies (2014–17) to arrive at my local branch library, I was more than ordinarily entertained by the line pertaining to the hero's soldiering past, "Shocking business, eh? Losing the Colonies." The bomber leather frock coat is as impressive as advertised.

in this case, both Poldark and Sherlock (Cumberbatch) had been deployed for a particular purpose and then someone mistakenly took them to the trash area, from which my coworker rescued them, and both of them lurked by the microwave for several months before Masterpiece plaintively emailed asking if anyone had seen their missing Sherlock. Sherlock was therefore returned to them but as they made no mention of Poldark we retained custody.
