Yeah, the finale was great! I loved this show ever since it started.

So they are making a movie of Downton Abbey anyone planning on watching it?

(I feel like people who are already in this thread know this, but I just feel like I should note for anyone else who stumbles on this thread unknowing. Downton Abbey is not family-friendly. Please use caution and/or discuss with parents before watching.)

I am hoping to see it though, potentially.

Okay it's been four years (or more) and I haven't watched it.

Same! But then I only watched the series for the first time in 2018-19 so I had to finish it first.* And then 2020 happened and everything went crazy. And all the DVD shops have closed down since then, and buying DVDs online here is complicated ,so I really haven't had a chance to watch it.

*I say "finish" but my history with Downton Abbey is a teeny bit more complicated. I was in the UK from 2011-13, when new seasons were airing and everyone was talking about the show. But I knew I'd get hooked and needed to focus on my studies so I intentionally avoided it (my new Doctor Who obsession was enough). I still remember everyone going crazy about the Season 3 Christmas Special (especially after our minister had mentioned in a sermon a couple of weeks before how Christmas Specials are always fuzzy and warm and give you happy feels - which slightly distracts from the real truth about Christmas). I didn't remember this until after I watched the episode, so it was still a pretty big shock - until I looked up what year it aired and realised that that was what everyone was talking about. Anyway, a couple years later, I was back in the UK around Christmas 2015 and staying with a friend's family. They were deciding what Christmas specials to watch as a family and Downton Abbey was the only one everyone agreed they wanted to see. So the first episode I ever saw of the series was the very final episode. I was so confused. 😀 All I remembered of it, though, was that this one was fuzzy and happy-feels with all the couples you wanted to get together getting together, and all (or most of) the resolutions you wanted. But it didn't spoil me for watching the show a few years later because I'd not really retained much of what happened or even who the characters were,(like I didn't even remember who Mary was with).

The diffrence is I've got it on one of the streaming sites being paid for (I think haven't checked) but haven't gotten to it yet.
