Description

The Downton Abbey estate stands a splendid example of confidence and mettle, its family enduring for generations and its staff a well-oiled machine of propriety. But change is afoot at Downton - change far surpassing the new electric lights and telephone. A crisis of inheritance threatens to displace the resident Crawley family, in spite of the best efforts of the noble and compassionate Earl, Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville, Miss Austen Regrets); his American heiress wife, Cora (Elizabeth McGovern); his comically implacable, opinionated mother, Violet (Maggie Smith, David Copperfield); and his beautiful, eldest daughter, Mary, intent on charting her own course. Reluctantly, the family is forced to welcome its heir apparent, the self-made and proudly modern Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens), himself none too happy about the new arrangements.

Probably the best British drama of all time, The sense of realism is immense, There is no feeling of this being modern day styled like early 20th century, But it is. You'll be taken back in time away from the age of computers to a time of aristocratic tweed and tailcoats and made feel of the common proletariat watching the lives of the bourgeoisie Crawley family.

Disappointed

So I watched Downton Abby... The drama is very boring and I found it slow with no excitement in it at all.

WOW

My goodness my family too relates and is similar to Downton Abbey as my relatives are lordships and ladyships themselves. I thoroughly believe this is a most exquisite, marvellous and accurate television show. Superbly dune to you all.

I missed series 1+2 but i'm recording no.3 but i needed to catch up on 1+2 before I watch no.3
Everything about Downton is amazing and more so for myself as I am a collector of miniature dolls and houses of this edwardian era so it's not just the plot that's interesting for me but everything else too and its so much better to view close up on ipad so I have cancelled series 3 on tv and got it on my ipad instead.

Amazing

Unfortunately I missed this show the first time around plus the repeat before season 2 but have now caught up with the rest of the country and just adore this show plus Maggie Smith she is a national treasure :-)!

So much to enjoy

Great acting, great dialogue, immense production values - the only complaint would be the somewhat cliched plots

Amazing!

Outstanding.......A masterful piece of fine work! A good enough amount happens but we are enthralled by what little it has got. But as the world of Downtown Abbey becomes more vast, it really is wonderfully interesting!

Smash it in a oner!

What do I love about this? The fashion, the spirit, the 'new' electricity, the dinners and the formal turning after each course, the wit, the dog, Cora's idiotic accent, Mary's tough exterior, not to mention Maggie Smith at her most ruthless and finest…I could go on and on…Ultimately this is a fantastic drama. I am so glad I watched it! You should too….

Must Watch

Downton Abbey is period drama at it's finest. For those who enjoyed Series like "Upstairs Downstairs" and "Cranford" this is a must watch. The dialog, costumes, sets, and even the simplest objects thoughtfully recreated to transport the viewer back to this rich time in history, and into this engaging story. The acting is flawless and each episode is layered with plot, sub plot, and many threads which tie each episode together into one fantastic story. Cannot wait for Season 2.
