Is there a thread or forum for it? It's one of England's best written and casted show ever imo. Any other fans here??

I love it! One of my favorite shows. :)

I think there isn't much discussion about it here because it's not a Britcom, i.e. British sitcom. It is a serialized drama, so it doesn't really fit the subject-matter of this board. But, I agree that the production-value of it is very impressive. It's very well-made.

I watched a couple of episodes and so far I like it.I agree that it's well made,especially considering it is a newer TV series.

Maybe someone can switch this over to the correct thread. I wasn't sure where to post this thread.:crazy:

I got hooked on this show after catching it in season one. Glad I gave it a chance. Dame Maggie Smith is a hoot.

Oh yes she has an answer or comment for everything.

Well, it's not a comedy by any means but, what the heck, let's bring this thread back to life.

I avoided the show for 3 years taking only peeks at it from time to time, in HD, on the ATSC side of my tuner. The scenery both inside and outside was stunning! But I just didn't want to obligate myself to 90 minute episodes.

Then as season three came to a close, it seemed every show I watched or listened to, mentioned the finale and how they were stunned by it, my interest was tweaked.

Finally, when the local PBS affiliate announced they were going to run season one through three 3 times a week, prior to airing season four, I thought I owed it to myself to at least try to watch the season one premier.

I don't think I've ever been hooked so hard, so fast!!! Into season two now and I watch it twice a week.

I'm currently rewatching the series. I can't get enough of it, even the second time through. It is so well written and the acting is superb. I love this show!

Season 3 was awesome and this new season is not disappointing it's great!

Sarcasm noted. Sadly accurate.

I love this show but it's looking more and more like something on the Hallmark channel.

Not much more than a warm up for Sherlock. Hope it snaps out of it!!!

I like Downton Abbey

Ummm, are we watching the same show? LOL I disagree with you.

Don't get me wrong. I may have sounded too harsh. I haven't given up on the show and I will watch it. I just think this series is a let down from the previous. It may be the result of seeing all the previous episodes consecutively and possibly resulting in burn out.

They could have at least, shown us what Bates did to the guy that raped his wife. You know it wasn't an accident! :mad: Maybe that will be done in retrospect, next season.

I think we only have one episode left? I'll be watching!!! :crazy:

I loved how you can't fool Granny, she knew something was going on. I'd like to think Bates didn't do it, but who knows. Lady Mary is going to make an excellent Matriarch when it's her turn to do so, she is so wise and talked sense into Rose.

I had to dig around on this site to find this thread. I'm glad I did.

I'm a huge Downton Abbey fan. My local PBS is airing previous seasons of it right now. It's such a good show. The costumes, the acting, the setting, the story lines...I can't get enough.

Right now I'm watching season 2. They're playing the episode where Mary and Matthew are singing for the troops who are staying at Downton. I can't wait for January when the new season begins. I need my Dowager Countess fix. She's the best character on the show in my opinion. I love the scenes where she and Matthew's mother are chatting together. I can't think of Matthew's mother's name, but she's the perfect foil for the Dowager.

I know what you mean. I avoided it for 3 years but, right after I attained the ability to watch PBS in HD, my local PBS did the same thing. I never got hooked so fast! New season hits US in January!!!!

It's really funny. Everybody I know who watches the show got hooked very quickly. Even my dad-a typical all-American dad type-watches this show. It's one of those that just drags you in. The first time I watched it, I put it on, and didn't pay that much attention to it while I was sitting there at the computer. Ten minutes in, and I couldn't stop watching. :lol:

Call the Midwife is another one of these sneaky British PBS shows that has gotten me completely hooked. Do you watch that one?

Yes. But that one didn't hook me so fast. In fact I watched the first season only because it was right before Mr. Selfridge. But, then I got hooked on it beginning with season two.

I hate that the lead lady has left. But the story line has plenty of grit to carry on, I'm sure.

Anyway, looking forward to the new Downton seties!

I'm watching the episode right now where Thomas scams Mrs. Patmore and brings home the fake cake flour (or whatever that was). I can't stand Thomas. I was so happy when O'Brien left. I was kind of hoping that they'd get rid of Thomas, but I understand that they probably think having a villain around is important. He's just such a jerk. The actor who plays him is great because when a scene with him is on, I find myself telling him off. :lol:
