The addictive, remarkable british drama works as well as ever; the development is careful about the dillemas, the intrigues, the inner troubles of servants and the relatives. However, the epilogue episode fells a little unneedly long.

This season is the weakest of them so far. Without spoiling anything, they get rid of a character in the previous season and they chose to focus on another character that isn't nearly as interesting. Still good though

While still being a visual masterpiece for a tv-series, the fourth season lacked plot. I guess they thought they'd spiced things up with Mary's new suitors, but they actually didn't. I think this show needs to try harder to make the viewers perceive the passing of time and add a little bit of action. But Fellowes, being an aristocrat himself, is probably used to much slower, quieter, more upper-class paces than what we might be accustomed to. Let's see if season V grabs the bull by the horns and really transforms the Grantham family into something appealing.

Not a great Season. Julian Fellows is basically rehashing old stories. No O'Brian but Thomas took over that job. I was happy when BBC announced Siobhan Finneran is leaving the show because she was just too cruel and wondered how they are going to deal with that. However, it was not good at all. Some scenes and plots are completely unnecessary. I also feel that the Season could have done better in approaching the deaths of Lady Sybil and Matthew Crawley. I feel they just moved on too quickly.

Starting to loose its creative lure. Tragedy after tragedy does not make for good entertainment. It makes for a news show. There was more of an interesting story line in past. Hope it gets back to that soon. Last night's show was far too disturbing. I'll watch documentraries if I need a heavy dose of that kind of reality. Disappointed
