I've gotten really into this British period drama. The characters are great and the plot line moves along at a good pace. I think it just won some Golden Globes. Anybody watching?

I am! I watched the first season via Netflix in one night. I suppose it helped that I was in the first trimester and really, really did not feel like leaving the apartment on a Saturday night. Now my DVR is set for season 2.
I love how it's a good mix of high and low-brow. Like, the historical aspects are fascinating, but the relationship stuff is pure soap opera.

I just bought the first season on iTunes and am on the second episode. I'm really enjoying it.
-
Yes, we love it!
-
I had dinner with one of my besties and she mentioned this show!
-
No, not yet! I saw that it got some golden globe awards, then I saw it on my suggested watch list on netflix, so I'm super interested in watching it! Soon...
-
Yes, it's fabulous! I spent several years of my childhood in Yorkshire, and I've always loved historical fiction, so it's right up my alley. It's a nice change from all of the reality programming on these days too.
-
Glad to find others who are watching!
@meredithNYC: @abbydabbydoodlebug: @rattles: welcome to the boards!

We started watching last night. We've only seen the first 3 episodes but we both really like it!
-
We powered through the whole first season last weekend. LOVE IT! The characters are so engrossing!
-
Just wanted to join in on this post! I recently just watched all of season 1 on Netflix! That show is AWESME! Too bad season 2 has already started airing, so now I can't watch it until it either reruns on PBS or is available on Netflix. Anyone know how long it took season 1 to be on Netflix after it aired?
Love this show!
-
@Adira: we've been watching season 2 on Amazon because you can pay for the download and watch it instantly!
-
@PitBulLover: Really! I may have to look into that. LOVE Downton so much right now!
-
Yes! I watched Season 1 on Amazon Prime, and now I'm going to start watching Season 2 on pbs.org... so wrapped up in this show!!
ETA: All of the current season episodes are available for free to watch on PBS' website, and they even have an app for iPhones/iPads
-
It's on my to watch list! I have heard nothing but good things about the show.
-
@Rachel: Thank you for the tip!!! I'll have to go watch it online and then maybe I can start watching it live!
-
My husband and I just spent the weekend watching the entire season 2. I LOVE this show!
-
I'm really intrigued and planning on catching up this series this weekend
-
Hmmm, gonna have to check it out later this week
-
Did anyone see the skit about Downton on SNL? Hilarious!
-
Okay. Just watched first two episodes with DH last night (on our new Black Friday TV purchase!) and I cried so hard in the first episode because everyone was so mean to Bates! It almost made me not want to watch more because I thought they'd keep it up. Glad that changed!
-
Season 3 preview on tonight... can't wait!!
-
I read recently that it was picked up for a fourth season!
