Had a chance to watch the series while in Ireland and have to give it 5 STARS +. Worth the price and the time to watch. Will order my own copies when I return to the states.
Maggie Smith is great in anything I have seen her in and this series is no exception. The entire cast is wonderful and the content very well done.

I thought this would be a wonderful series...until the same-sex kissing. I shut it off and will not be watching the rest.

This is a marvelous production in the tradition of Upstairs, Downstairs and The Forsyte Saga. Acting, costumes, sets and a compelling script are exceptional as they portray the social classes during the changing times in England prior to WWI. Best of all: In the 2012 season, the series continues where episode 4 left off . . . information which was obviously missed by an earlier reviewer.

I love British period pieces and this movie is no exception. Beautiful costumes and scenery. The locations are gorgeous. I love the contrast in speech between the family and the servants. However, be advised..this is season 1. Season 2 has not started filming and is not expected to start airing till next winter or so. I didn't realize that and when it ended, I was waiting for more. I am looking forward to the next season.

This has to be one of the best period dramas ever made. I absolutly love it. Downton Abbey is more addictive than dark chocolate.

If I could give it a higher rating than five stars I most definitely would. Top-Notch acting, etc. Splendid from start to finish. Didn't want it to end.

I Also Recommend:
Absolutely brilliant and addictive. This is season one (it is listed as such!), to clarify what some people have said about the unresolved ending. It's called a cliffhanger! Season two is also wonderful, but also ends with a cliffhanger. I can't wait to see season 3!

This product is confusing as it is listed as just DVD and does not designate whether it is widescreen vesion or full screen version. The following seasons are specified as widescreen

I felt like there should at least be one more epsiode to tie things up. I know that British period pieces don't all have happy endings up this one just left you hanging.
I gave 5 stars for the first 3 epsiods & 2 the last
