DOWNTON ABBEY...DID YOU SEE IT? ...LIKE IT?... OR?

Flatbush — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 06:33:04 GMT

Just received the new movie DVD from Netflix today. The movie came out in 2022 and it has already been put out for distribution?

I wonder how popular it was or wasn't. So, if you saw it, what did you think?

I saw it on Peacock a week or so ago. I loved it. I liked it better then the other movie. It does have a different vibe to it but I thought it was still very good. I am re-watching the series now. I love how you can follow the family and watch the members grow and deal with lifes challenges.

I also saw it on Peacock about a week ago. While I enjoyed parts of it, it seemed a little farfetched to me.

I got my copy yesterday and only had time to watch half of it but I'm not impressed. I don't know what I expected but I find it rather boring. Hopefully, the second half will be better.

Hi @Flatbush

I also saw it on Peacock and was surprised it was avialable so seemingly soon after its release.

But I loved it. I love the whole thing-- both movies & the series. I think I like this one better than the first one. I loved that the staff got to dress up. Barrow finally had something good happen for him. Mrs Patmore, too. And the grandkids still call the Earl "Donk" LOL.

When they were visiting their new villa, I was struck by how polite everyone was. Imagine two families in a legal battle over a house, in today's world. LOL. No luncheon there! It reminded me-- there is a way to be civil, even kind in a trying situation and time. We just have to choose to be.

I also love the other period pieces form Jullian Felloes (sp?) The Guilded Age. I hope that comes back. Same with the other. I can't think of the name, but I don't think that one is coming back.

I like the Guilded Age too. It's been renewed.

The other series is Belgravia. I didn't like any of the characters on this show.

Haven't seen it yet. Hesitated because I didn't like the last TV episode or the first movie, but the newest one is getting good reports among women movie-goers I know so I will try it.

I felt the Downton movie was like a stretched out television episode but slightly more going on.

I would watch a tv rerun as a last choice, although, I loved the mini series!

We rented a few episodes from the library. Did not care for it.

They are currently filming the next season of the Guilded Age now. Most of the street scenes are filmed in Troy NY.

I love the movie! The first scene was at a wedding and the camera went down the aisle and you could see all the smiling faces of all my favorite characters. This movie made me really happy.

@Flatbush

Since people still aren't going to the movie theaters in droves I'm guessing it's about keeping the new movie "active". Not sure it has anything to do with "how popular" the movie is.

I haven't seen it yet, but definitely plan to when I can watch it in my own home.

justashopper — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:45:17 GMT

@deeva Yes! Belgravia!!

You're probably right-- Eventhough I liked it. The Belgravis series was not as good as the others and maybe why it won't be back.

@Flatbush I have seen the latest movie twice, second time at home. I purchased it via Amazon Prime so it's mine forever.

I was a faithful follower of the PBS series and loved the first theatre movie where they hosted the King and Queen. I havee the series annd first movie as a DVD set, but no longer have a player. That's why I bought the latest theatriccal release from Amazon Prime. Now I just speak the title into my remote with the microphone button and voila--it's on my television.

I, too, think Julian Fellowes story lines are well plotted.

I enjoyed the first season of The Gilded Age and so look forward to enjoying the upcoming second season.

While my friend was visiting from England, we went to see it at the cinema. We both wanted to see it on the big screen.

And we both loved it. I liked the way they seemed to wrap up a lot of loose ends.

@aroc3435

Not sure I get "The Gilded Age" I will have to look it up. Sounds as if I would enjoy that too.

Watched every episode of" Downton...", loved it and was so disappointed when it was over.

Loved every character and was so anxious to see the next episode.

We who enjoyed it were/are a passionate group.

Glad you are now able to feed your interest and easily whenever you want.

@Flatbush I'm a long time Comcast customer. Gilded is on HBO. The settings and costumes are fabulous and the story line held my attention. Since you liked Downton I suspect you will enjoy this series.

PBS has been showing Upstairs, Downstairs this summer so I have been watching that too.

Have a pleasant Sunday.

Oh, I have neither Comcast or HBO.

Thanks for the information though.

Darn.

@Flatbush I just did a search. Doublle check what I found. Indicated you can watch/stream if you have an existing Amazon Prime or Hulu account by adding a subscription to HBO Max.

Hope this helps.

@aroc3435

Thank you for going through and double checking for me.

I have neither of those either.

Yes, I am simply behind the times.

You are certainly kind and again I Thank You.
