DOWNTON ABBEY

I never watched the Downton Abbey series on TV and this October I have been watching it on the computer.  Ticked off that I started watching it with the SPECIAL that was listed above SERIES ONE.  I thought that was a pre-SERIES ONE starter but it turned out that it was the one where Matthew dies in the car crash and that kind of blew the series knowing this.  Whatever, I am in SERIES 3 where Shirley Maclaine shows up as Coras mother from the U.S.A. – Horrible choice, very disappointed that they chose this actress.  I think that Glenn Close (who wonderfully played CRUELLA de Vil) would have made a most wonderful Martha Levinson from the U.S.A.
