Will Someone Please Put Downton Out Of Its Misery?

[vernonk]

It's so dull now. Lady Mary is stuck in irritated and patronising mode. Even Anna and Bates have lost their appeal. Lord G has piled on the pounds

[B00]

Never watched it or felt the inclination to do so.

i know it's won gawd knows how many awards and the world and his dog seem to love the show, I just can't muster the enthusiasm for it.

[BlackadderV]

if it weren't for Maggie Smith this show would have flopped after the first series.

[ferlew]

Similar here BOO.

[tonyav]

I give up on it half way through the 2nd series.

[jno]

same here, B00, I get all that aristocratic living at home every day, I don't need it on the telly as well.

[B00]

lol jno, it get's very tiresome doesn't it?

[Sipowicz]

More power to it........it keeps my wife out of my hair while I'm on here!

[Maydup]

....yes its about time they all got married and lived happily ever after.

Wasn`t it always dull though? That is the nature of soap operas. They portray day to day life and such life is boring. These soap operas lose their credibility when they have fantastic storylines because they then cease to be believable.

never watched or will watch it but was not originally called upstairs downstairs.

[craft1948]

I only watch it for the frocks and hats...

[lardhelmet]

Thought we'd gotten rid of
drippy lady Edith last week

but no...

[Mags22]

We find it quite funny most of the time, I can't believe how some of the 'upper class' lived their daily lives!

[wendilla]

Quite upsetting when they put the bit in about the dog . I had lab the same and it upset me seeing that I cant see the point of them putting that in and yes if it wasn't for Maggie it would be a flop. I thought it was going to be good this time but it is falling behind again.

[murraymints]

never watched it !

[janbee]

It's definitely time it was put down along with their dog. That drippy sappy Cora and the permanently smiling Rose. Mary with her two suitors who look like identical twins. Poor casting there. Only Mr Barrow and Lady Violet , the dowager duchess have any appeal. I hope this is the last series. I loved it at the start but now it's just hard work watching it. I know I can switch off, but I'm very loyal and I intend to stay till the end .

[mallyh]

am i the only one who enjoys it lol

[janbee]

The pooh sticks were the most exciting thing about last night's episode. As for the Mr Green saga...omg. Enough ! He's dead, he was a rapist so who cares?

[LyndaB]

I watched the first episode of this latest series and decided that's it's another prime example of a great show being flogged to death. Maggie smith is superb, but even she can't save it. Shame really, because I loved it at first

[netibiza]

I love it!
