PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN SOMEONE SAY THEY WATCH IT *hyperventilates*
If they do, then I'd like to have full on discussions about it in this thread.
For those who don't know, Downton Abbey's summary is this:
Lord Grantham sees his family heritage, especially the grand country home Downton Abbey, as his mission in life. The death of his heir aboard the Titanic means distant cousin Matthew Crawley, a Manchester lawyer, suddenly is next in line and accepts moving onto the vast estate with his even more modernist, socially engaged mother, who clashes with his lordship's domineering, conservative mother, the dowager countess. Marrying off the daughters is another concern. Meanwhile, the butler presides over a staff which serves the family, but also lead most of their entire lives in the servants' quarters, intriguing amongst themselves.
Obviously things have changed and characters have come and gone. The fifth series of this amazing show is coming up soon, and I haven't seen Series 4 yet (I know what happens, it has been spoiled for me lol) but I'd have seen it by the end of this summer.
Concerning Series 5:
mm matthew you sexy thing
, though I do have to admit, I feel it's been a little bit overrated. Series 5 already... I'd be very curious to watch the original series again and really see how the popularity affected the later outputs.
