Downton Abbey (Season 6 - The Final Season - 2016)
I think in my review for
Season 1, I mentioned that I'm not a fan of Victorian Era stories. I find them to be boring and pretentious and something I've never been able to relate to. All that changed when I discovered
Downton Abbey. Even though I thought the series was good in that first season, I still believed that I would eventually grow tired of the show and bail on it. That never happened and here we are....the
Final Season and I'm already missing it.
Season 6 was a fantastic way to wrap up the series. It had everything. It was sad, it was happy, it was shocking and most importantly of all, it was damn funny at times when it needed to be. I'm really going to miss the characters, especially the actors and actresses that played their respective roles. I can't remember if I ever laughed as much as I did watching
Season 6 compared to other seasons, but it gives me a smile whenever I think of certain things and looks and scenarios that transpired this season. If you guys have never gotten on board with the show before, do yourself a favor and start now. I highly recommend it. One last thing before I end this, I was really glad to see that
Allen Leech return as
Tom. When he made his grand entrance in Episode 3, it really was a surprise because I figured he was completely written off the show at the end of
Season 5. Also glad to see
Lily James return as
Lady Rose, albeit for the Series Finale only. Better one, than none I say. Okay, one more thing, they really did a great job of tying up all the loose ends and giving them a believable send off.
