I love Downtown Abbey. It’s a wonderful series. I haven’t missed an episode. And I have the first four seasons on DVD.

Someone has spent a great deal of brain time on what is essentially a period piece, costume eye-candy, soap opera.
It’s fun TV, but really.

I’ve never really seen the appeal. I do like Maggie Smith but the other characters are depressingly predictable and two dimensional. I like the costumes and the setting. Otherwise yawn.

If you want to see a good series about religious life in England right after the WW2 check out this one. It’s about nuns, Anglican nuns. But back then Anglicans were almost identical to Catholics. By the way Britain makes much better movies that Hollywierd.

The series Father Brown, based on the the writings of Catholic lay theologian C. K. Chesterton, is another excellent British period production set in the 40’s and is about a parish priest who solves murder mysteries. It shows the faith in a very good light and is currently running on my PBS station.

Creator and writer Julian Fellowes is a Catholic, and while not born to British aristocracy, he married into it (meeting his wife while having an affair with someone elses), and has become a toff, as the British put it, with a big house and all. But its impossible to determine the state of another persons soul, so its hard to know how much Fellowes allows his faith to influence his storytelling or even his life.The article could have stopped right there. Which part of Fellowes life is more Catholic? His storytelling, or his adulteries?
