Almost embarrassed to say it but I'm a Downton Abbey fan.
My sister and I have been closer since our parents died. She visted us and clearly wanted to discuss Downton Abbey. I said that I don't like soaps and wouldn't be seen dead watching something like that. She bought us the Seasons 1 -4 Box Set for Christmas. As Season 5 was due to start (in September)we decided to start watching it at the end of July. We watched the entire 4 seasons before September (36 episodes). We watched the first season in two days (9 episodes - never done that before)
IT'S FANTASTIC!!!!!!
The writing, the sceenplay, the characterization, Absolutely awesome Acting and the sheer spectacle.
I have to say that it's spoilt all other drama for me, it's amateurish by comparison.
For those who disagree I give you 140 million viewers worldwide per week.
Go on the IMDB website and look at the awards its won (view page by page)
