I'm almost finished with season one on Netflix. If anyone wants to discuss their favorite way of watching the other two seasons online then please feel free to pm me. We watched season two on Hulu Plus. You have to sign up for a free one-week trial and then, you know, use them and abuse them and then discard before the week is up.

I think he generally looks better with a little less weight but the hair colour and the facial hair do nothing for him. For some reason, I actually am looking forward to season 4 even though it's probably going to be a massive trainwreck without Sibyl, Matthew, O'Brien and lots of new characters.

Thank, Mulva. Someone recommended the same thing with Amazon Prime. Season three was misery porn.

Whoa, Dan Stevens lost too much weight! He looks gaunt. I really hope it's for a role.

I can't believe how much the Emmy nom for Hugh Bonneville annoys me. And it's all got to do with the character he plays. I wanted to punch Robert in almost every episode and hated how he got away with every stupid thing he did. The only male DA actor I would have nominated is Rob James-Collier.

I really don't know where the Emmy nom for best drama is coming from with this show, but the Emmys are pretty ridiculous and just responding to the show's popularity. Hugh isn't a bad actor, but he's hardly the most impressive on the show and honestly hasn't had much to work with. Robert is a buffoon who doesn't do much other than stand around and be wrong all the time. I agree that if they wanted to throw an Emmy nod at an actor on this show, it should have been Rob James-Collier or Allen Leech.

I just watched the series 4 premiere and, as expected, the show has lost a few steps. The cast departures have left a huge hole. Still, I managed to enjoy a good deal of it. I'm not really a fan of Edith's current relationship but Laura Carmichael looked beautiful in Edith's 1920s attire. They went in a very creepy direction with Mary initially. I'm not sure how I felt about that. I was expecting her head to start spinning around when she was on the steps with Edith. Her beautiful scene with Carson helped to make up for it. Robert is as clueless as ever. I was genuinely surprised by the ending to the Thomas/Nanny storyline. I guess it takes one to know one. Thomas learned from the best so it's not too surprising that he was able to figure out that something was amiss. There was definitely not enough of the Dowager Countess and the Moseley stuff fell a bit flat. I'm not at all happy about the characters they brought back from the wayback machine and the downstairs love triangle feels like too much of a retread. Overall, it was decent but I have my doubts about their ability to pull off a fifth series. I guess we'll see how this one progresses.

Seriously. I don't know how Tom didn't laugh in Robert's face when he said it would be better if he managed George's money rather than Mary. Mary could decide to use George's money as toilet paper and it would still be better management than whatever Robert would do with it.
The vibe was a little different, but I was still entertained by it. I liked the stuff with Mary and Carson (and agree that it saved her from looking like a turbo bitch). I'm glad she snapped out of her funk in the end, dropped the black for lilac, and decided to carry on Matthew's work with the estate rather than let her boob of a father take over. I'm not thrilled that Edna is back, but I guess they gotta have some troublemakers down stairs to keep the numbers up since O'Brien apparently decided to slip away in the night.
Edith just can't freakin' win. She has a boyfriend, she looks fab, but her boyfriend is married and he's got to become a German citizen in order to divorce his crazy wife. That is totally going to bite him in the ass. That's just not a good time in history to being making ties with Germany.
On a side note, I get a kick out of watching British commercials. Especially the one for the mouthwash with the tagline "For people who spit blood when they brush." Damn.
