Season 6, Episode 8
1/10
Worst Downton Abbey episode.
24 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"The slow pacing is now gone and everything must suddenly change for whatever conclusion possible because the series is about to end."

-The writers of this series probably, possibly and apparently.

If you liked this episode, you have 0 understanding of the characters and you most likely never truly liked this show. Most of the characters had massive out- off-character behavior during the first part of this 2-part finale. Saying stuff and acting in a way they never would have acted in the first 50 episodes nor would they act like this now if they kept in character.

This sudden personality change on all the characters is cancerous and against everything else that has happened in the past 50 episodes. The shipping of Mary and mister car driver - who is the worst husband candidate yet and apparently the canon pairing of this finale - is nauseous and has ruined my day.

The quality drop is simply insane and a total disgrace. Any of the characters from the first 50 episodes would agree with me - not suitable. Seeing how IMDb has this episode ranked as the 3rd best Downton Abbey episode is a perfect example of how right the Dowager Countess of Grantham was and is about change.
