FUCKING TARG SHITS

I heard only the first season is good

AN INSPIRING SIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE, BOW YA SHITS

>oh you’re gay and tried to rape a sleeping guy? You should be horsewhipped you sodomite
>nvm jk actually everyone knew and is cool with it, you were born this way, we’re promoting you instead
The foid writing really takes me out of it. Characters state their perfunctory 1920 opinions and then become metropolitan 2010 liberals twenty minutes later.

THERE'S A BOAR COMING NED

They allowed their most attractive daughter to marry an Irishman. And not even a respectable type for one of those people.

Nobody can ever say the name right.

Fake Edwardian drama (I know it’s technically after but no one really says “Georgian” so they). Watch something like Brideshead Revisited instead which was written by someone who actually lived through that era and not a flanderized version of it

He was even an anti-British communist radical terrorist too and then within a couple episodes he’s a middle class farm manager on their dime. It’s like every character meant to be likable becomes a safe liberal with modern sensibilities pretty immediately.

>>213516005
Do they make him renounce the pope before they make him a manager?

Mary is my favorite character, and the first two seaons are great to rewatch for her ridiculously complicated relationship with Matthew. For all the raves he gets as a writer, Julian Fellowes can be a total hack too (see Matthew's death, just because JF's panties got bunched up because Dan Stevens didn't want to continue in the role of Matthew).

>>213515903
They didn't allow it. She literally ran away.

>>213516177
The gilded age has all of Fellowes hackiness and Carrie Coon.

>>213516231
Laura Carmichael doesn't have Michelle Dockery's beauty (few do) but she's got a pretty banging body. Those frumpy period costumes really hide it well.

>>213516177
They shot this promo pic on gay porn set.

>>213516083
They allow their grandchild to have a Catholic christening after saying they’ll never accept it for 30 seconds

>>213516177
I felt bad for Latvinia. Gold digging Turk-fucker.

>>213516286
It was from a skit "Downton Abbey on Spike TV".

>>213516259
They stopped them from running away and then allowed it, even ended up sending money which he probably channeled to the IRA

>faggots in the first episode
fast pass. and I'm glad it had no lasting cultural impact.

>>213515664 (OP)
This is a show you talk about in real life but not online

>>213515664 (OP)
I stopped liking Lady Sybil after she made that sextape video where she wanted a guy to fart in her mouth.

>>213516259
point and laugh at this guy, he actually watched Downton Abbey

>>213516177
Mary's character introduction was similar to this - backlit by the window so that sheer nightgown could really show off her form. Highbrow tv ... right.

>>213516286
I actually remember when I realized this. Very late in the series Edith is in one of those sheer shifts and she bends a certain way and it becomes very obvious that she has the sort of great ass and hips that would make people who watch period dramas very uncomfortable.

Honestly props to the costume designers for hiding it for like...5 seasons because you see it immediately after she stops keeping her spine rigid and her neck completely straight in that weird high society way.

>>213517975
Yeah the period clothes were more flattering on Michelle's figure. Of course so are modern styles. LOL.

>>213518106
If only she didn't say every single line exactly the same with that breathy sigh while looking down with her eyes.

>>213518274
I never really had any problems with her line delivery. Now Sybil's on the other hand ... Still, Michelle is so gorgeous she could read me the phone book and I'd be captivated.

>watch this with my gf
>episode about some young visiting Turk diplomat
>he romances one of the daughters and ends up sneaking into her room to take her virginity
>"great, more pride & prejudice period schlock for lonely wine aunts"
>he has a heart attack and straight up dies mid-coitus

This show was something special.

I started watching it back when it was airing on PBS because I was in poverty with only antennae tv and it had no commercials, now I don't want to sound like a queer or anything, but I love Downton Abbey.

>>213515664 (OP)
Wasn't this show pretty fucking huge for half a second? What happened? Seemed like it was about to become another Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad and then didn't.

>>213519665
It was huge for the six seasons it ran on tv, and that led to 3 movies. I wouldn't be surprised if they spin off other DA series/movies.

The creator/writer is doing this now. Same thing but set in 1920s New York following the definitely *not* Vanderbilts

Not as good because they made the obnoxious negro house maid a huge part of the story.
