Home › Forums › General History Chat › Downton Abbey?
This past weekend I started watching episodes of Downton Abbey, beginning with season one. I'm still working my way through it. Anyone else watch it? I decided to watch it since I kept hearing about it, and so far it's pretty good. Basically an early-twentieth century soap opera involving an aristocratic family and the staff.
Have not watched it and do not plan on it. I have heard about it though.
I tell you, if you start watching it you may be sucked in. I still recommend it. The only big problem is that they skip through about 8 years of history (1912-1920) in the first two seasons, probably so they can discussion contemporaneous historical events, but the characters themselves do not seem to age 8 years.I have finished the first two seasons and will watch the third when it comes out on Amazon Prime this June.
