I have been a fanatic fan of both "Upstairs Downstairs" and now Downton Abbey from the very beginning, but this episode (#1 of season 5) left me under-whelmed and I really have no idea why. It was filled with interesting vignettes which will probably lead to more exciting subject matter in the episodes to come, but it just did not have me on the edge of my seat.
However, having said that, I will still be glued to the TV screen for the rest of the season. It's a really interesting time frame they are going into, basically the fall of the gentry and the rise of the common man ..............
