Downton Abbey: A New Era

If you have seen the Downton Abbey series and saw the first movie – this will not disappoint.  First off,  all of our old favorites are back including Mr. Carson, Lady Crawley, Mrs. Hughes, Daisy Parker, Mrs. Patmore and Lady Mary.  There are two subplots going on and they are both intriguing.  In the first one, Maggie Smith, everyone’s favorite Countess, has inherited a villa in the south of France.  So some of the family goes there to check out the villa and to solve the mystery of why it was left to her.  The other subplot is a bit more fun.  It is 1930 and a movie crew is willing to pay a pretty penny to be able to film at Downton Abbey.  The movie is silent but talkies are coming!  If you have ever seen “Singing in the Rain” you will be able to guess what happens.  What I loved the most though was how many of our favorites find love, grab new opportunities and discover hidden talents.  Maggie Smith, as always, has some of the best lines.  All in all, if you love Downton Abbey, I highly recommend this one.
