My hubby and I watched that last weekend. I have to say that I wasn't impressed a whole lot. It seemed a little to confusing and chaotic for me. It didn't seem to well written, and not worth the hype that surrounded it. Had to share.
We watched it twice because it is a bit difficult to follow. I think it was good representation of the distinction between the classes. Did you notice that even the servants were served their dinner by the kitchen staff?
And we love Maggie Smith.
