I missed most of the first season, but am enjoying this second season.

It's worth renting the first season on DVD. I wanted to throttle O'Brian and Thomas...
Also Maggie Smith had the best lines ever, and she delivered them as only Maggie Smith can.

Love it! I missed the first season, so it's taken me a while to try and figure out some of the relationships, but I think I've got it now. Love the grandmother!

I'm there with ya! Except for this last episode. I thought the actor who played P. Gordon was horrible - as was the story line.
I know it's just a period high class soap opera but this episode was over the top.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I love this show - it is a well done period piece and I am really enjoying it. I love that I can stream current episodes from the website if I can't stay up that late on Sunday evenings to enjoy it.
I think I saw the original series on Netflix? That memory could be incorrect, I may still have had Uverse at that time and had recorded it on my DVR. Anyway, high-class historical soap or not it is quite well done.
I've also done some reading over the years about the social changes in England during this time period - WWI couldn't help but to cause major changes in British society/class lines. They appear to have done their research well for this series.

I agree with Sadiekate, I love the show but P. Gordon Stinks and it's starting to go over the top a bit. That said, I'm still excited to watch the next episode!!
