i am not a very big fan of non scientific, non action shows but downton abbey is a very beautiful exception of it. when i saw the mansion back in the poster that was the moment i started to download the show. i am so into Celtic castles and the show is absolutely just about one of them! so now, i can not be very objective about this show but i am not expected to anyway. the show is great. acting is brilliant. the costumes, the language, historical background, everything is accurate, believe me i checked (before that the show Rome was the only one felt historically real that way). not a tiny piece of good character they waste. it's about royalty and also everything not royal, it's about tradition and change (with this aspect it is kind of reminding the movie fiddler on the roof), it's about crisis and welfare, it's about the first world war for Christ sake where else do you see it!? all and all, if you are a little tired of American shows with no sense of reality, this show will feel like a mirage in desert. if nothing, they speak British English with British accent. and what they're saying is worth listening.
