Very good series. We're looking forward to Season 3!

Way too tragic for my taste... Once a single episode makes me cry for two hours or more, and I can't get it out of my head, I've had enough. Very disappointing, I really loved the first two seasons, they should have ended it then.

I really enjoyed this first season! I hope the rest of the seasons are just as good... The clothing and decor were beautiful, the acting was believable, and there wasn't a dull moment. When I think of a "soap opera" I think of those…

Soap opera. Real for the times. First season is probably best of series.

I liked this DVD and the series. It is good for all ages. The War is over and a long-awaited engagement is on, but all is not tranquil at Downton Abbey as wrenching social changes, romantic intrigues, and personal crises grip the majestic…

I liked this DVD and the series. It is good for all ages. Season two returns as the Great War rages across Europe, and not even the serene Yorkshire countryside is free from its effects. The men and women of Downton are doing their part…

I liked this DVD and the series. It is good for all ages. Set in an Edwardian country house in 1912, Downton Abbey portrays the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them. In the drawing rooms, library, and beautiful…

I tried to get into this series and I wanted to love it, but the first episode completely bored me to tears. I tried watching it twice, but it was too slow moving.

Those who like it probably like it a lot: its getting endless-soap-opera-ish to me, and ends with a birth and a death.

I found that this incarnation is starting to become a period soap opera; a marriage outside of class, an injury with miraculous recovery, the gay guy gets defrauded and comes up with a silly scheme to get some more money, and a moment of…

An extremely well crafted series: the sets, the costumes, the characters and their relationships, and how they all fare in a challenge (WW1). Its just too similar to a romance structure and the theme of decline of the aristocracy is one I…

Outstanding series of life in England in 1912- 1940s.

Excellent!

I hated this, the ARROGANCE of the so-called upper class, the absolute CRUELTY and GOSSIP of the servants as well as the typical pbs liberal GAY AGENDA makes me want to vomit! Even the servants were haughty and arrogant! Didn't watch much…

Not for me. The material is basically a historical fiction soap opera of dramatic scheming and colluding. For what it is, it is incredibly well-done. The writing and performances are all very good, at least.

It is only now that I finished viewing the whole series of Downton Abbey for the second time, and it made me share my views on this excellent production. The British are masters of producing TV series and this is very likely the best that…

Perfect mix of drama and comedy, set nostalgically in a time and culture that will never return.

Sh** gets real on this season.

This is a great series. For even more insight into the times and the manor houses, borrow and see the Iconic British Estates video that go into more detail. You will meet Cora in these videos. She was not the only wealthy American woman…

So I'm usually into the action, fantasy, sci-fi genre, I watched the first episode and I was totally totally totally hooked! I'm on season five now! Even though it is not fast-paced or action-packed, something about it is just so good! The…

Even if you never watch this type of movie about nobility and patriarchs and aristocrats you will truly enjoy this show and it will draw you in until you find your self praying for one character over the other. The cast is extraordinary…

I love everything about this show, from the casting to the time period, the wit and the drama. If you love period films but you want to settle in for something longer (how about six seasons?), then you won't be disappointed Downton Abbey.

By now, you've probably gone tired of me extolling this series. Well, here I go again....this series is GREAT. GREATER THAN GREAT. Fantastic everything: performance, cinematography, script, character growth, costume (that actually evolves…
