Better late than never, right?
Last week, we said good-bye to the Crawleys, and the doors of Downton Abbey closed for the last time. I have to say I was devastated. I jumped on the Downton bandwagon a bit late, but I fell in love instantly. The scripts, the costumes, the sumptuous extravagance of a period drama: it had all the elements for a fantastic show.
I was concerned with how Julian Fellowes was going to wrap up a show six seasons in, and I was beyond paranoid he was going to kill someone off (the ulcer scene with Robert? I looked up spoilers just to see if he made it). The show had a level of closure and peace with each story line that most shows only dream of (and very rarely care to make happen). A few were predictable, but all-in-all, I really enjoyed how our time in the lives of Downton Abbey was brought to an end.
Did you watch the Downton series finale? What did you think?
I am still deciding on if I want to start watching, I have heard so many good things that I have a feeling it will happen at some point.
I loved it in the beginning, was underwhelmed after Matthew died, but started liking it again this last season. I’m sad to see it go.
I was so relieved with how they wrapped everything up (especially Thomas Barrow who I hated in the first season and then he become totally heartbreaking). I just wish it could have gone on forever!
I only got into Downton this season. Prior to that, I would sit on the computer next to John as he watched. I like the end. I do wish there was more, or I had gotten into it sooner.
