Downton Abbey: "All's Well That Ends Well"

Tweet

I can't say that I am sorry to see it go, for it was time. They had wrung all the drama possible out of this tale. That is not to say that it was not well done, for it was. the characters were appealing, though at times you might have wanted to strangle Lady Mary (I did). Lady Edith was always a sympathetic character. Carson was the epitome of a British butler from this American's point of view. Then there was Mr. Barrow, such a conniver at first, who grew into an amazing character whom you really cared about. I fully expected the young man to hang himself out of despair; thank heavens he only slashed his wrists and was rescued. I swear that I did get tired, even bored, of Mr. Bates and Anna's endless troubles. Did you? I have only scratched the surface of this great series here. I am certain many have opinions that do not agree with mine. So, what do you think? Glad it is over? Who was your favorite character? Whom did you despise? Were you satisfied with the ending? What should have been different?
