One of my favorite things to do on Sunday is watch Downton Abbey. I started watching the show when it first started and have been watching it ever since.  I think I love it so much because it is different from most shows out there right now.  I love the characters and their different personalities.  I also love all the costumes and the set.  But the reason I like watching it so much is because my mom loves it too.  We try and watch it together every week and it is something I really look forward too. We love talking about all the controversial moments and speculating what will happen next week.  I think that is one of the biggest benefits of media.  It can give us something to bond over with other people, and if used correctly can help bring us closer.
