Know what you mean M.O.S. but actually no... Im really intae anything thats into period drama stuff like Mr Selfridge, the Paradise . so Im not fed up yet....
Besides Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Smith, were any of the other DA actors and actresses well-known in the UK?
Penelope Wilton is probably the best known of the others. She's been in several well known series over the years. Doctor Who & Ever Decreasing Circles among others.
I wasn't very impressed with season 4. The writing is getting lazy and the characters are becoming more cliched. Maggie Smith does nothing more than give her trademark withering looks and one liner put-downs.
The American element of the show was ramped up when the show became a hit in the US, but it all seems a bit forced.
The storylines in season 4 seemed to come and go at random and ended abruptly as though they were a batch of standalone threads scattered throughout the season. The last episode didn't exactly end on a cliffhanger either, it just seemed to fizzle out.
I've never much liked Julian Fellowes tbh, he seems to have created Downton as his own personal fantasy of how he thinks he should be living. How the hell he can justify a seat in the House of Lords, I have no idea.
For me it's something of a guilty pleasure. I recognise how absurd the writing, plotting and characterisation is but I'm still drawn to the period trappings and traditions. Agree that they're upping the American aspect of it with more characters from there but I suppose, in vaguely historical terms, ie, the growing stature and influence of the US, it kind of makes sense.
If you havent seen the Tudors try and do so.. marvellous ...
