Downton Abbey


Can we please speak honestly about Downton Abbey? The first season was stellar. Top notch and all that jazz.

Season number 2? It stinks! I'm sorry. I know there are die hard fans. I myself was a big fan, but let's be honest people the second season is just silliness and tom foolery.

The acting is getting worse, the stories are SO contrived and I just don't feel any chemistry at all between the characters. (Don't even get me started on the awkwardness of the kiss between Lord Grantham and the maid. And what is up with Cybil and the driver?? I'm just not feelin it.) I feel like I am watching an NBC soap opera which are way worse than the ABC ones BTW. Its saving grace though, are the accents (and of course Maggie Smith) particularly Anna, Daisy and the Evil one.

Farewell DA. It was nice knowin ya.

How funny, I am literally watching Season 1 Episode 1 as I type based on everyone's recommendation. There is a ton of hype. I'm sad it's not living up to expectations.
