So Downton Abbey‘s message is an anti-class warfare one. The fact is that the spirit of the critics is hard left, and maybe that’s why Downton Abbey makes them so angry, because the success of the series shows that this group does not speak for America.
It also shows something equally important to the future of our culture: that there is no inherent need for good TV to be left of center. Stories sympathetic to virtue, preservation of property and admiration of nobility and of wealth can be told beautifully and to wide audiences, and I suspect they will be more and more in the future.

Thanks for the ping
Forgotten about the first one.
Second one came to mind because it was most recent, the last show (last week?).
Homosexuality is not central to the show, not pushing an pro-homosexual agenda. The homosexual character is of low character and scheming and gets his just reward. . .hardly pushing a pro-homosexual agenda.
That was my point.
start from season one though. I don't even own a TV and watched it through Netflix and Amazon.
If either of you enjoy historical drama its a must.
lolol,to each his own. Don’t you feel the same?
They have the shortest seasons,gonna miss it.
I actually went searching for a Downton Abbey thread, because I just discovered this series about 3 weeks ago and now I am also hooked. I bought the DVDs of all 3 seasons, and I’ve watched them all twice. I am now practically rocking back and forth in anticipation of season 4. I think it starts in September... good grief. That’s a long time to wait.
