Brava Megan! You reflect my sentiments exactly. I have been consistently delighted and impressed by this show and am amazed at how universally it is beloved. I have yet to meet someone who did not like it.
My family loves this show as well, but I must give some warning about the language. Siegfried and Tristan blaspheme a great deal more than necessary in my opinion, and I also feel guilty about laughing at what would otherwise be excellent dialogue, because the Lord's name is liberally peppered in. One episode in season two would be my absolute favorite because the writing and comedy are charming, but it is all spoiled when Tristan swears by Our Lady, referencing the Hail Mary in a flippant and disrespectful way which I, as a Catholic, found appalling. If you don't mind that sort of thing, then, yes, this show is charming, but if you are in any way sensitive or have small children, I would strongly caution you against this show. In my opinion this is yet another example of how one small degradation from what should be common decency can completely spoil an otherwise excellent work of art.

Catherine! Of course you love this show too ☺️
I love this so much and really want to watch this now!! Is it available anywhere for streaming, or DVD loan or purchase? I’ll have to look into it...
I know that the first 3 seasons are on DVD. I found it once at Walmart. Haven't seen season 4 or 5 for sale yet
I think you can stream through PBS passport or Amazon.
