Downton Abbey

January 7, 2012 | by Andrea Katz | Great Thoughts | 2 Comments

Oh what a show!  I didn’t watch the first season of Downton Abbey when it was on last year.  I first heard of it last summer.  After downloading Episode 1 on my ipad last summer, I quickly watched the entire season in 4 days time (didn’t accomplish much else).

This is the modern version of Upstairs Downstairs with a host of WONDERFUL characters, both servant and and socialite.  I am THRILLED that the new season starts tomorrow night, January 8th, on PBS.  The amazing Maggie Smith plays the dowager countess with her usual biting tongue and sharp British humor- love her!

I highly recommend this show!  It is a lovely reprieve from reality TV and silly sitcoms!

Enjoy!

What are you reading and where are you going?

    This is the second great review I’ve read about the show in two days. Looks like going to have to buy last season’s DVD and see if I can catch up.
