I’ve been hooked from the beginning. I have come to the conclusion that my favorite actress on this program is Penelope Wilton, cousin Isobel. She doesn’t need to speak. I enjoy it when she tosses her head, or clenches her teeth, or twitches her lips. Her interactions with Maggie Smith are the best!!
I did the same: binge-watchEd last springredients and looking forward to Sunday.
The author Julian Fellowes plays the character Kilwillie on the series Monarch of the Glen.
This is a good series also but perhaps not a polished as Downton Abbey. It is Downton Abbey in the present in Scotland rather than England
Keep it in mind for when Downton Abbey is over for the season.
It is fun and less pretentious
When you're a gal, and you would like a soap opera
You can always watch . . . Downton!
When you're a fella, and your maleness would stop ya
Go ahead and catch . . . Downton!
Just listen to the accents of the people in the Abbey!
They're British, don't be skittish, they will cheer you if you're crabby
Look at those clothes!
The suits are more tweedy there
You can critique all their dresses, critique all their hair
So go . . . Downton!
Plots will move slowly on
Downton!
Romances come and gone
Downton!
Everything's plodding along . . .
As a Brit, I loath this programme.
