I was just wondering if there are other Downton Abbey addicts here. I basically ignored it for the first year but gradually became fascinated by it more and more and now my Sunday nights are planned around it when new episodes are airing. Much of it is predictable, but it's still so much fun and has so many interesting characters. My favorites are Violet and Thomas. Edith is just too tragic to ever get worked up about. I also really like Isobel and her zingers with her cousin Violet.
