Downton was something I've wanted to watch for a while but never got around to, so I'm glad I finally gave it a chance. It can seem slow at times with all the parties and dinners, but I like that because it gives the characters time to engage with one another. (Does anyone else wonder what the actors are actually talking about when the camera isn't on them? I tended to do that.) Most the characters were all rounded enough, especially considering the large cast. Of all the characters, I think Tom would be my favourite: He's come so far since the first season, really becoming a part of the Crawley family and the confidante of both Mary and Edith. His sendoff by Lord Grantham was so touching, well, the entire last episode was full of all sorts of touching moments. I'm so glad he's coming back for series 6!
The time period is also something I quite enjoy, especially with all the events woven into the stories. Along with that, the setting and costuming are superb! It's so beautiful just to watch. The soundtrack is also nice, sometimes generic but the motifs are nice to listen to.Statistics: Posted by elanorelle — Sat Jan 09, 2016 4:15 am
