‘Mr. Selfridge’ Recap: Season 4, Episode 1
Previously, on Mr. Selfridge: There is too much to put in this paragraph. We’ve got recaps though, so check them out if you need a memory refresh.
Welcome back, folks, as we kick of the fourth – and, yes, final – season of period drama Mr. Selfridge. Whether we’ll be sad or happy that this is the show’s last run remains to be seen, but we’ve certainly had something of a rollercoaster ride over the last three years – for both good and ill. Let’s get to it!
Of Course There’s a Time Jump. Season 4 of Selfridge is kicking off in 1928, which means that nine years have passed since the events depicted in the Season 3 finale. NINE YEARS. Honestly, this has always been one of my biggest pet peeves with this show, that it’s completely willing to let huge emotional beats pass totally unremarked upon, simply because they wanted to push the show forward in time the next season. Where you interested in the start of Harry’s emotional tailspin after finding out his fiancée Nancy lied to him about every aspect of her life and identity? Or even what happened to her? Too bad. Did you want to watch what happened in the wake of Miss Mardle’s stupid decision to get back with Mr. Grove? Oh well. You’re not going to get it – and you’re just going to have to catch up quick to where things stand right now.
