I'm a Downton Abbey fan who often binge watches the series I can't get enough of it. If you enjoy historical programs with great drama and subtle comedy this is for you. Follow the the Earl of Grantham's family and their downstairs servants from 1912 through 1925 through highs and lows...deaths, weddings, marriages, births, wrongly accused arrests and prison, love affairs and snipping between two of Lord Grantham's daughters, Watch the times change for women as Lord Grantham grabbles with traditions changing with the times...clothing, haircuts, driving, acceptance of women working outside of the home hand and having power in the workplace. Issues such as birth control, abortion, and mixed racial relationships are explored The attire is breathtaking. The Downton Abbey castle is its own character with soaring towers and a jaw dropping grand hall. The Dowager Lady Grantham will have you laughing outloud with her quotes, i.e. "What is a weekend?" I could go on and on about Downton Abbey, one of my top three favorite series. I had all the seasons except seasons 4 & 5. I was very pleased to be able to complete my series with this purchase.Vollständige Rezension lesen

This is not normally something I would care to watch, with the extravagant lifestyle of the elite & proper English rich. NASCAR, cowboy movies, something with car chases or a good clean comedy is more my style. But after a few episodes I was hooked. I think the acting is some of the best ever, the props such as clothing, vehicles and household items are amazing. The daughters are within the ages of all of my grandparents, and although their lifestyles were completely different growing up here in the US, it also gives me a history lesson of what was going during their early lives. If you haven't watched this series, start with season 1 & watch it in order. There is a lot to keep up with, lots of characters & interwoven plots, but it is all first rate. My wife likes it as well if not more than I do, for some of the same reasons, but also for more of well written out story lines. I used to have to watch some Duck Dynasty to come back to reality, but at this point I am looking forward to Season 5 starting in January '15!!! Again, the best acting, best put together show---I think it is one of the best!Vollständige Rezension lesen
The stories, the characters, the acting, the sets, all of it just pulls you in. Hard to limit yourself to just one episode at a sitting LOL. Makes me wish I had watched Upstairs Downstairs when it aired years ago.

One of the finest period piece series I have ever viewed. The character portrayals are superb. Plot twists move the action along.

In order to truly enjoy Downton Abbey one needs all 6 d.v.d's to cover the 6 seasons. Did not think much of the movie by the same name.
