I’ve watched some of it a long time ago, I just don’t get the appeal.

They need to do a prequel.

No one wants to see what happens to the House of Grantham under 20th century post-war UK socialists.

I have been quite busy writing my adaptation called ‘Downtown Detroit’

The appeal is obvious.

The beginning theme music of DA signals death or tragedy is imminent.

The series had great production aspects. Scenery, photography, a better bygone age (that only a miniscule few ever experienced, but why niggle over details).

The same creator tried to translate the general atmosphere to NYC with The Gilded Age, Astors and Vanderbilts et al., which is über-woke crap.

Expect more of the latter for the re-boot of Downton Abbey.

They just can’t help themselves.

Saw the last movie. My thinking was the show is out of steam.

The article talk is all about the cast, but the real star, the source of the greatness, is Julian Fellowes. He crafted a fantastic story.

He has written and produced other stuff and it is all fantastic
