Title: Adore the Series, but Season 2 gets silly at times
Review: We love, love, love Downton Abbey here at my house. I've been waiting for a show like this since Brideshead Revisited in the 80s. I must say, though, that Season 2 has its low moments. Many reviewers have mentioned this, but in one episode a man shows up, covered in bandages, claiming to be the heir to the title. THe absurd thing is that he speaks in a Canadian accent. Why, why why introduce such absurdities?We also find NOTHING appealing about that character Branson. Awful personality. And the actress who plays Sybill, despite being lovely, is NOT convincing as an aristocrat. She has bad posture and a slumpy-faced expression. It's very uncouth.None of this, however, will keep me from watching this show, and I give it five stars despite these flaws.
