Title: Social class, world history, and a soap opera all in one!
Review: What I like best about Downton Abbey is the acting and the social history it opens up to my child, who isn't familiar at all with any of it. And of course, it's done in a most entertaining way - entertaining enough to keep an 11 year old intrigued. What I like least is the script's tendency to devolve into soap opera, but I think many people, including my child, love this aspect. The actors themselves are not in the least deficient!The costumes and setting are glorious. The streaming experience here is not as good, however, as it is on a streaming platform with which most of you are more familiar. I think Amazon will iron out the kinks, but the viewing experience for Season 1 was seamless, while our new source, here, is rather clunky and not invisible at all. I'm sure this must be something Amazon is working on. We look forward to continuing to watch it.
