Now I understand what all the fuss was about, and am looking forward to watching season 3.

That's what happened to me and it has been so worth the ride! Enjoy Season 3 then hold your breath waiting for Season 4 to begin in Jan 14!
So well written and it's set in such a great period.

Last weekend our cable company had a "watchathon" weekend. They showed entire series of some of the most popular shows. I had never seen Downton Abbey, but I'd heard LOTS about it, so I decided to check out an episode. The result: I watched more episodes over the weekend than I can admit in public. I am totally hooked, and I was one episode short of finishing season 1 AND season 2 in two days.

Me too!!

I'm debating on whether or not to watch episode two. Prior to it, my main draw to the show was the always talented and sharp Maggie Smith. Episode one of season one did not quite reel me in to the show. The part that was the most interesting was (forgot their names) the young, scheming guy and his relationship with the guy that visited the family. However, I felt bad for the newly hired driver. The aforementioned scheming, young male servant and the scheming, older female servant are just awful to him. It was really hard to watch. Does it get better?

Oh goodness, yes! Keep watching and the sharp tongued Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) will unleash some great one-liners.

Not to mention that every character you mentioned thus far is going to hit some highs and lows (ie - karma bites back).

Well, I was hoping that was the case for those two.

When you type the words karma and your trail name, does a Culture Club song pop in your head, too?
=P

LOL! Pugs and Bee planted one here recently. So I got a chance to find a box with that particular song stuck in my head.
