Without giving too much away, concerning Season 3, Julian Fellowes has strayed way far of the historical mark when it comes to social issues. 90 years ago, there were standards, people were held accountable for their actions, there were consequences. While we are all hoping he will free Bates, others, who are less sympathetic are never really punished. Miscreants in Season 3 receive pass, after pass - it makes for a disappointing story line. Just out of curiosity, why are Thomas and O'Brien so nasty, I am still waiting for an explanation?
About The Show
Downton Abby - a sprawling, lavish Edwardian mansion and park nestled in the lush North Yorkshire landscape - needs an heir. After a tragedy at sea claims the life of the presumed heir, Lord Grantham is faced with the possibility that the house he's loved his whole life might someday belong to a distant cousin he's never met. But before he can worry about that he must deal with his scandalous daughter, Lady Mary - considered by many to be the rightful heir to Downton. Even the staff has opinions on the family's affairs. And while most are devoted to those they serve, there are others whose selfishness and scheming do more than simply disrupt the well-oiled inner workings of the estate. As the servants' mischief escalates, even the most faithful employees begin to imagine a different life.
