Finally a boxset for the Uncut versions of Downton Abbey... NOT THE "CUT UP" PBS MASTERPIECE VERSIONS THAT CLAIM BEING UNCUT!
March 12, 2012
By Ryan
Format:Blu-ray
Finally a complete boxset of the UNCUT versions of Downton Abbey series 1 and 2 THATS RIGHT UNCUT!!! Hence the Complete Collection on the Box! This does not include the Christmas special but, that is not a part of series 2 anyways... its its own separate entity... after watching the "cut" PBS Masterpiece editions that claim to be uncut and ARE NOT (also the editing of the PBS versions is terrible! very choppy!) and then watching this set I can now say I am glad I ponied up the extra money to buy this set... if you thought there was something wrong with the versions you watched and that there was something missing, you would be right! There is more footage across the whole series and it really makes it more amazing than I had already thought it was! I would compare it to the Lord of the Rings movies... The theatrical releases where obviously good but when the studios released the extended editions it was INCREDIBLE! That's this box set! It's the way it was meant to be seen! I call it Uncut, but for those of you who fell in love with the series on your local PBS station, you will be in for a real treat when you buy the "extended" editions! I hope you enjoy this series as much as I have!Enjoy!

Buy a different set! This one is not complete - season 2 is missing the last episode, Christmas Special! Unfortunately, the publisher failed to provide any info that the last episode is not included in this set . . .
Also - these is no information on the set box, the dvd boxes, nor on the discs themselves what episodes are in what box, and on each disc! We are talking some 14 episodes, plus extras . . . It would be helpful!
I suggest buy other sets, and check the list of episodes included! If there is one to check . . . :)
Otherwise - I'm still a big fan of the series. Not of the team that marketed this item though!

I was so disappointed when I realized that the final episode for the second season was not included in this collection. I think that Amazon should recompense us for being ripped off or provide us with a copy of the final episode for free.

These are the complete sets. I ordered them the last week of July and got the full versions a week later, no left out Christmas episode everyone was whining about. That episode is the only episode that was named and it would be easy to overlook and think it was part of the features so heads up about that. I also would like the add that one of the disks was scratched and the seller replaced it quickly and was lovely about it. These sets are great, filled with all kind of special features to keep you plugged into Downton Abby for hours if not days.

I read all of the reviews before selecting the complete seasons 1 and 2. It seems that my copy of season 2 does include the Christmas Episode. Not sure how -- maybe the copy I have was released after Feb 2012 when this episode had been shown on US PBS stations.

I can't say enough positive things about season one of Downton Abbey. It was heartfelt, wonderful, delightful, entertaining, moving, exciting, funny, and most of all, intelligent.
I'd heard some fans say that season two of Downton Abbey fell short a bit compared to the first season, but I hoped that perhaps I'd be amongst the fans that loved the second series as much as the first.
At first, things were not looking good. I found the first episode of season two felt a little rushed, and I was dissapointed that more time wasn't given to developing and introducing certain story arcs. Episode two still felt a bit bumpy, but things were getting better. Episode three felt back on form, and my husband and I watched on up until episode 6 with much delight.
Then things began to fall apart. It's difficult to say much without giving away spoilers, but the appearance of a mysterious wounded (and disfigured) solider who claims to have ties to the family was only the first of many utterly absurd plot-lines that I found myself utterly unimpressed by. Episode seven, in particular, was so bad that it started to get funny. My husband and I could not help but laugh as we pounded are fists and shouted at the characters "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?" There were some ridiculous plot-lines, many cases of characters acting out of character, and some really poor writing.
The final episode did not have the effect on us that it might have had had it not come on the back of such a load of idiocy. At least they spent the episode resolving some of that nonsense, so that hopefully they can make way for new (and better) story lines in season three.
To fans new to this series, I'd honestly recommend you stick with season one and pretend that season two doesn't exist.... Read more ›

I just finished watching Season 1 & 2 ordered through Amazon. There were many versions and I hoped I ordered the correct one. The box says "Original UK Edition", Carnival Films. Some reviews I read before ordering claimed the Christmas episode was not included. Mine HAD the episode. We really enjoyed rewatching before season 3 begins.

Downton Abbey: Complete Seasons 1 & 2 (6 Discs)
Excellent series that makes you want to find out what happens next. My only complaint is the ever suffering butler feels a bit too much, too long-suffering.

number 2 disc in season 2 skipped the entire disc
The set was enclosed in plastic. I assume it had never been open. The disc that skipped had about 5 shows on it. I was disappointed with that
