Downton Abbey

Medusa · 02-19-2012, 08:33 AM

I've just started watching "Downton Abbey" on Netflix and am in LOVE with the show!

Anyone else watching?

Anyone else wish that Mrs. O'Brien would get socked right in the teeth?!

Prudence · 02-19-2012, 09:03 AM

I crazy about this show. I get to watch a new episode tonight at 8pm. And yes.. O'Brien needs to take one in the kisser. All of season one can be seen on pbs.org Masterpiece Classic, for those who may want to catch up on this fantastic show. Thank you for starting this thread.. I know of several here that watch the show. What do you think of Patrick? Imposter or not?

Medusa · 02-19-2012, 09:05 AM

I haven't gotten as far as Patrick yet!

Just started watching and am only on episode 5 of Season 1. I can tell that I will spend the next 2 days watching all the episodes! HOOKED!

I really like John Bates and hope that they keep his character around for a while!

Stitch · 02-19-2012, 09:07 AM

Looove Downton Abbey!!!

I like Bates the best! Thomas the least! and Daisy seriously needs a new dress.

Also I am pretty in love with Michelle Dockery/Lady Mary and I want her to narrate all the books I read from now on.

MysticOceansFL · 02-19-2012, 09:16 AM

I'll be checking it out since a few like the show!!! Thanks Ms Medusa!!!!!

WolfyOne · 02-19-2012, 10:06 AM

Sounds interesting, but do I need another TV addiction....hmmmm.

Medusa · 02-19-2012, 10:09 AM

You'd love it, BrotherWolfy, and it would be worth it!

I am on a new episode and just shrieked at the tv! That Mrs. O'Brien is EVIL!!!!!!!!

Yes, we have been watching. We both love it. There is a Christmas episode this week I think. So far haven't missed an episode. My great Aunt was a nurse in WWI and worked in the trenches so it was interesting seeing the latest episodes about the war and the nurses and Sybil's training.

ScandalAndy · 02-19-2012, 11:02 AM

I've watched season 1, season 2 and the christmas special. I am in LOVE with the show and all the characters!

SugarFemme · 02-19-2012, 11:36 AM

I am not usually into a TV show like I am Downton Abbey. I LOVEEEEE this show. Only thing is, it is way too short LOL. I want more episodes. It is definitely NOT a guilty pleasure for me. I HAVE ZERO guilt watching it LOL. Lady Sybil is so beautiful. I LOVE that Maggie Smith is in it. Hugh Bonneville is one of my fav actors. Tonight is the last night. I could cry LOL.

pajama · 02-20-2012, 01:17 PM

So with season 2 ending, my FB is blowing up. So why hadn't I heard of this before? I went to On Demand and there's nothing. grrrr Now gotta go find season 1 before season 2 gets taken off the PBS website. Maybe McKay's has a copy.

Gotta see what this is all about.

Mrs. O'Brien gets much much better. Thomas is still a prick though. You are going to love it. I just watched the season finale of season 2 yeaterday. Shirley McClain is going to be in Season 3. Sybil is my favorite and Maggie Smiths character. Love this show!!

I guess I spelled her name wrong. Shirley MacLaine will be Lady Granthams mom. Wooo can't wait!!! Her and Maggie Smith are going to be awesome!

shush, you! I haven't been keeping up with the gossip. I've been losing myself in "Sherlock" until my beloved Downton Abbey comes back. BTW BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH! I'm having a moment. He was in War Horse and is in the new Star Trek movie!!

Oooops, derail.

Back to DA: The christmas special made me swoon!
