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.

And yes, the original is on Netflix. I'm watching Season 1 and the current season at the same time

I must confess, I teared up when they thought Matthew and William were missing and then the two of them walked in while Mary was singing at the concert.
Also, I did not think Mr. Pamuk (sp?) was all that good looking.
And why does poor Lavinia always wear such ill-fitting dresses? Can't she afford a seamstress?

You are the Dowager Countess of Grantham, Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith). You do not suffer fools gladly. In fact you do not suffer anything at all because you refuse to entertain any form of discomfort in your life whatsoever.

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!!
