Is this really the Grand Finale? The latest Downton Abbey adventure left me waning more. I wonder what will happen when World War Two begins? Anyhow, the family matriarch played so well by Maggie Smith has passed on. Now the next generation led by Hugh Bonneville as Robert Crawley begins to feel the passage of time. Same thing downstairs, ushering in a theme of new generations. Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary shocks the village with her divorce. Can society change along with her? The crash, bad investments, a dashing swindler, and Noel Coward all figure into this latest and last? episode. Really, how much will things change when World War Two begins? I really feel another chapter coming. As for this one, it's like taking a warm bath, soothing and familiar.
