5.0 out of 5 stars
Don't miss an episode, series 2 is as delightful as the first, January 24, 2012
This review is from: Masterpiece: Downton Abbey Original UK Version Season 2 (Amazon Instant Video)
Series two of Downton Abbey is as good as the first. It picks up in Nov of 1916 where series one ended. The entire series concludes in Dec of 1919--and already there is production for series 3, a continuation but in the 1920s. There are plenty of cast members back so it is advisable to watch the first prior to the second, but not mandatory for entertainment. You will be as enthralled as the true series of comparison, the amazing dramatization of Brideshead Revisited. Both are period perfection, a look at British life in the war years, some intense suspense and mystery mixed with bits of serenity and romance. It's the WWI years with all the good and the bad, but the acting and writing make it all seem good somehow, at least from an entertainment point of view.
I'd strongly recommend the full series, even the past series one, and of course I'll be purchasing Series Three as soon as it is available.
