I watched the entire series on Amazon Prime, and then I started over at the beginning to see what I had "missed." The second series was the "UK" version. There were scenes I saw for the first time, the second go-round. In the USA version, some of the footmen are snickering as the opera singer is performing. That was taken out of the UK version. Also, I'm in the last series, 2016, and apparently the scene with the Lord puking blood at table has been omitted. Hmmm. . . . .

One of the best series I have ever watched. The actors are incredible and character development is wonderful throughout each season.You will love some of them and hate others, and at times you will find yourself loving and hating the same character.I was sad to see this serious end.

This period drama television series is slow and boring. I can't understand how this manages to gain millions of viewers in the United Kingdom. Even more puzzling than its success in the UK is its large following in the United States - it must be like another world to Americans, so I don't see how it appeals to them.

What a wonderful multi-season accomplishment. If you haven't watched it, and take an interest in 1912 to the 1920's time period, this is worth seeing. Invest in the box set for all seasons and enjoy. I can't understand anyone not liking it, but I've met a few. This series invests a lot of time showing how people treat one another, and the personal struggles the rich and poor endure. A good family series as well.
