This series has given insight to historical facts and the way of life for the times. It also gives an understanding of the aristocratic class and the need for them. Now that I have a little more understanding of the titles and the culture, it becomes obvious that the wealthy should be at least given credit for providing employment to people. Although abused at times there is enough information to have a better understanding of the role of the lords and earls that make up the aristocratic class. I think the actors are actually brilliant. The interaction between the family and their servants is very interesting. In addition to great story lines, the editing is actually superb. Sorry it ends with season 6.

I started watching this when it was over (reruns only) on the UNC Explorer channel. I had to order Seasons 1,2,3,4 to get caught up. Now am watching Monday nights at 8 to the last of it all. Oh, it is marvelous. I wish it would never end. The characters are perfectly casted. Love em all!!! Maggie Smith cracks me up. So funny. The house staff, too....so very talented, all of them. I even like Thomas who can be hard to like at times, but comes across as understandable. He is a very charismatic member and plays his part superbly. Mary, Edith, Cora, all fabulous in their roles.

Downton Abbey is one of the best mini series ever. Everything about it is awesome! Setting, characters, costumes, vehicles.... on a scale of 1-10.... Downton Abbey rates at least a 10!

I just love the show. Never thought I'd like what is basically a soap opera, but it's so well done in every phase of production, it's just impressive. Besides, I'm an Anglophile and history buff, this is a match made in Heaven.

I absolutely enjoyed this series so very much. It was very addicting and I purchased the full series so that I could watch it at my convenience. Love everything about this and only wish that it would continue on and on.
