Six months after Matthew's death, Mary is mired in grief, and the family and servants try to help her face a future without Matthew. Meanwhile, both Tom Branson and Carson face figures from their pasts, and Edith experiments with modernism.

The much-loved cast of Downton Abbey Season 4 includes Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt, Penelope Wilton, and a host of others, with guest stars Shirley MacLaine and Paul Giamatti. Written and created by Julian Fellowes, Downton Abbey, Season 4 marks the return of one of television's most beloved and anticipated drama series to MASTERPIECE on PBS.

I’ve seen all of series 4 and the Christmas special. You can stream it from the U.K if you set up via a European. I wouldn’t pirate bay it, but there are more reputable but lesser known services available if you look.

I read all the recaps from season 4 from the UK. :) Not sure if I will watch. I really enjoy reading them. Extremely detailed.

On my local PBS station, it starts at 9 PM, but there is a related 8:00 feature called Secrets of Highclere Castle.

You should check your local listing.

This show rocks....Like Upstairs/downstairs...both are classics.
Amazing thing is the class DA is made. Unlike USA shows which wallow in filth.

“You gals ready for Season 4?”

You betcha. Breathless with anticipation. Got my popcorn ready to be popped. It’s been a long drought without it.

Bates also had a main role in Lark Rise to Candleford, an excellent series which is also available for streaming from Amazon.

I could watch all the episodes on my Kendle

Interesting that you keep misspelling the name of the device
when the correct spelling is top center of the dang thing.
