This was so splendid to watch... i came into this very overwhelmed with the amount of characters i thought would be hard to remember, especially considering they were all under one roof, but within a few episodes, i was hooked and already had favorites. The best part of this was that so many characters had such amazing redemption arcs as well (BARROW!!!). Being able to see their complexity and their stories unfold during the time period was so fun! The costumes and settings were also so well done, award winning in my opinion. While the episodes were very dense and not very bingeable, i still looked forward to watching the storylines unravel every night that i watched. I found edith to be one of the most insufferable characters in a tv show i've seen, which i gather is an unpopular opinion, but it was fun to see her and mary's dynamic shift back and forth with mary's moods. It was hard to root against anyone and this world was one that i found so endearing! I hated how lord grantham had literally zero consquences for cheating on cora but ya know... i guess things happen. Can't wait to watch the movies!
