If you’re a fan, you are all too aware this is the final season of Downton Abby. What’s a viewer to do? There is a new PBS offering you can transition to. Every Sunday night on WGVU-HD following Downton at 10:00 is an American-based upstairs-downstairs period drama called Mercy Street exploring the medical and human side of the Civil War. I talk with actor McKinley Belcher III who plays character Samuel Diggs.
