The fact they gave Lady Mary a happy ending after all the terrible stuff she did still sticks in my craw.
I'll still watch it when it comes to premium channels, not going to go watch this in the theater alone.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'm stunned they got Maggie Smith for this. She sounded like she was absolutely done.
Agree completely. She was vile. Worst character and I never understood how so many people were blinded to it.

Leaving for a film career didn't work out in the end, he was lobbying for Bond pretty hard in the press iirc.
Probably why he did The Guest. He just doesn't have a lot of range unfortunately.
Yep, movie better end with her son dying in WWII and Downton being bombed to hell during the Blitz.
Karma.

I have the impression I read somewhere it would be set in the 1940's, is it true? This would be so awesome. But I wonder how they would age the characters, especially Maggie Smith - the Dowager Countess was already in her 80's in the last season... It ended in 1926, IIRC.
Where is the sequel series where the Crawley children get hooked on Gameboy Tetris and a big family schism over hip hop

That's unfortunate, but I suppose at some point your arms are just going to get too tired.
If this takes place in the 40s she'd be over 100...
Didn't work out so well for Jessica Brown Findlay, either. She's back on British TV last I heard.
I honestly think the dog hit that over the course of the show (the now regrettably named good girl: Isis).
Yay, good news I guess! It's fun watching old world scandals.
He played Beast on Beauty and the Beast, the second most grossing movie of 2017 and is the extremely acclaimed star of Legion on US TV and is going to be in a couple of upcoming big TV movies starring alongside Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, etc. Seems like things worked out for Mr. Stevens pretty well after all, although I'm not sure if the trajectory would be that different if he had just stayed on Downton Abbey.
Finally I can live vicariously through them once again pretending like I'm not a broke ass college kid.
Film, maybe if you don't punt Beauty and the Beast, but he's doing alright in TV. He's the main character in Legion.
It's a miracle that his long lost twin brother has returned to win Lady Mary's heart.
Turns out Cousin Matthew has a secret twin! And this one is super skinny, cut, and way hot!
I'm a Brit that once got drunk stateside and spent an hour in the DVD section of Walmart asking people why anyone likes Downton Abbey.
I'm still confused why this thing is internationally popular. Can Era explain?

Dan Stevens has had quite a few prominent movie roles since leaving Downton and is lead on a critically acclaimed FX show. Just because he hasn't landed the Bond role doesn't mean he failed lol.
Unless you guys are joking and I can't tell.

Do you know how many period dramas we get in the UK? They're a dime a dozen. What sets Downton Abbey apart so much that it's internationally adored?
Do you have beer?

Co-starring in a 1.2 billion dollar film last year == didn't work out. OK.
All this time I thought it was Downtown Abbey...
wow. Excited for the fans, seeing an anthology on the silver screen!

The movie sets up Downton Abbey: The Next Generation. It's set during World War 2 and all the children of the original cast are the new main characters.
And there's Klingons.

The last season felt so forced when it came to Mary and that new guy they introduced JUST for her.
She should have ended up with Tom, that made a lot more sense imo. He lost Rose and she lost Matthew, they were both alone and knew each other for years, but nope lets just throw in this random new guy and have her go head over heels for him out of the blue.

Is that the guy who crashes his car on the way home in season finale?
That's the last episode I've seen
