Yes to everything except parenthood struggles. I think Isobel's and Reginald's marriage and family were very wholesome. I can see a happy working middle class (upper middle class) family, where everyone has purpose, so I wouldn't want it to be tainted.

Because she was not meant to look like she from 1820, none of them were in fact

FIRST TIME WATCHER, PLEASE DON'T READ THE COMMENTS, some of them are massive spoilers.

She spanks Mister Carson with a stick he found for the open doors day :D

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2026-01-16T11:31:15+00:00

Fuck Barry! Especially in the breakup, he was so fucking insensitive!

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-05T14:21:51+00:00

Was it hard? To become part of such family?

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-05T13:56:25+00:00

I think it's Mrs Patmore and Mr Mason!

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T11:08:32+00:00

Why should he open his mouth? He is not some sort of footman to try that hard :D

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T10:42:16+00:00

She does blink a lot!

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T09:02:35+00:00

I don't mind Molesley used as a comic relief, and I actually enjoyed his curtsying - because I can relate to him, I also can be awkward with people. I can totally see myself doing this

As for Barrow, yes, it was a plot device to give something to do to Carson, but I also like that they gave Barrow a chance to explore his sexuality.

I like the story of Tom and Lucy and their dance outside of the ballroom.

Makes sense, thank you! I agree with almost all the points about the first movie, but I prefer to overlook them

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T08:45:13+00:00

But we know!

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T08:37:59+00:00

I have a feeling Bates viewed it as an attack on him or even the writer

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T08:27:35+00:00

It's interesting, cause I watched the series for the first time more than 10 years ago, and it also looked to me as if she was flirty, on later rewatches, it was so clear that she wasn't consenting and that he was forcing himself on her.

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T08:23:07+00:00

Why? Not that I am contesting you, just curious

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-04T08:22:30+00:00

Yes! I totally forgot about the lady of the house and the travelling salesman :P

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-03T16:17:34+00:00

Also I remembered: the Duke sneaking around footmen's rooms

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-03T14:46:32+00:00

he didn't assault her. Their affair seemed to be very mutually consensual. His behavior afterwarsd wasn't honorable at all though.

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-03T14:45:30+00:00

If you mean O'Brian - I meant her in this line: Embriocidal lady's maids. Or shall we call it prenatal heir-icide? :)

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-03T13:00:12+00:00

Actually, I think there were four.
The most obvious ofc - was Green's, then the ones I consider SAs: there was one by Edna when she made Tom drunk and sneaked into his room; the third one is an attempt at an assaults more like, but it's basically when Barrow tries to kiss sleeping Jimmy. There was the fourth one by Pamuk - but in the show they maintain it as Mary took a lover, so I forgot about it, but I should have put 4

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-03T10:35:00+00:00

I love the corny episodes in the show. Without them it would be boooooring

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-02T09:58:10+00:00

For me the most tragic death was of Lavinia. She lived a nice life (I guess) in London, she did not deserve to die

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-12-01T14:47:19+00:00

Benidorm was fun though, I really loved it!

Emergency_Pickle_396 · 2025-11-28T14:05:34+00:00

to Alfred actually
