      91% Tomatometer 159 Reviews 95% Audience Score 100+ Ratings This British drama series follows the lives of the Crawley family and its servants in the family's classic Georgian country house. The series begins with the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, which leaves Downton Abbey's future in jeopardy, since the presumptive heirs of Robert, Earl of Grantham -- his cousin James, and James' son, Patrick -- die in the catastrophe, leaving the family without a male offspring to take over Downton when the current lord dies. The point is important since Lord Grantham's children are daughters -- Ladies Mary, Edith and Sybil, but the facets of their lives and of those of the below-stairs staff -- also a highly regimented world -- have fascinating story lines.

      Eric Deggans NPR It's really well-crafted. I mean, it's well-written. The production is lavish. The costumes are amazing. Watching these episodes, you're kind of transported back to a time with a lot of turning points for modern society. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post Downton Abbey may strike some as an unbearably fussy and silly affair, but it has also fully and richly answered that little boy's question: They lived that way out of a sense of duty. And while it lasted, wasn't it grand? Jun 29, 2016 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety What seems clear, as Downton strolls toward the finish line, is that the show's influence will reverberate well beyond its five-year run. Jun 29, 2016 Full Review Alyssa Fikse Uproxx Downton Abbey isn't trying to change the face of television, so let's just enjoy the loveliness while it lasts. Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Jasper Rees The Arts Desk he nation will no doubt be grateful to see its favourite escapist fantasy deigning to engage with our piffling contemporary anxieties. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2018 Full Review Kyndal Wilson Black Girl Nerds The acting. The set design. The costumes. The sharp writing. The attention to detail. All of it came together in a way that made this show more than just another period drama. Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      matthias s "Downton Abbey's final season bids a bittersweet adieu to its beloved characters and sumptuous estate. As the curtain closes on this period drama, fans are treated to a satisfying blend of romance, scandal, and intrigue. From Lady Mary's enthralling love life to the ever-reliable wit of the Dowager Countess, each episode delivers moments that tug at the heartstrings and ignite laughter. The Crawley family faces the challenges of a rapidly changing world, grappling with societal shifts and personal dilemmas. The season's highlights include the long-awaited resolutions to lingering mysteries and the poignant farewells to cherished characters. While bidding farewell to Downton Abbey is no easy feat, the final season ensures that the legacy of this captivating series will endure. As the credits roll, one can't help but reflect on the joys and sorrows shared throughout the years. Farewell, Downton Abbey; you will be sorely missed." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review David C A phenomenal end to the run of seasons! Some brilliant, jaw-dropping moments, carrying the drama and warmth all the way to the finish line Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I did not want this season to end. I will miss the characters and story line so much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly one of the best tv shows of all time. It's portrayal of human nature regardless of status, philosophy, gender, sexuality, age etc. is so insightful and powerful it had me in laughs, tears, and springs of joy all throughout the series. It's so sad that it ended. . . I feel like the people at Downton Abbey have become my family now, but I won't get to see them any longer. Thank you to the creators, cast, and crew for this show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Very moving and dramatic. I've come to the point where I care about almost every single character.
