What is your opinion of the show "Downtown Abbey?"

Had some minor nosiness surgery and I'm stuck in bed for a day or so. Show has high ratings on Netflix and Amazon but I know nothing about it so I thought I'd ask this great group of people.

I didn't think I would like the show very much but I really love it. If you're at all inclined to watch it, you'll enjoy it. Most people who would hate that kind of TV wouldn't even consider it.

Do you like or dislike Masterpiece Theatre in general? If you like it, you'll like Downton Abbey, though it's a bit more 'soap-opery' than most Masterpiece shows.

I watch & enjoy all the Masterpiece shows & Downton is no exception.

The show depicts the lives of the privileged class on their estate, their servants, and how the two classes work together.

ive only started hearing buzz about downton abbey during this season. Season 3 I believe? So it might be hard to get started (caught up) on this.

@wootfast: That's what's great about Netflix.

I'm watching Lillyhammer tonight.

PBS is showing Season Two of Downton Abbey right now (it has already been shown in the UK), and shooting for season three is just about to begin. Season one's available on Netflix and, I think, Amazon. And, bless them (and making me especially glad I support my local station), the folks at pbs.org have the entire show available for viewing online shortly after it airs on Sunday night. So it's actually possible to start watching season one via Netflix or Amazon, and then to continue right along with season two at pbs.org.

As maybe I've hinted, I'm crazy about Downton Abbey. Maggie Smith is beyond belief. And joining the cast in season three is, so help us all, Shirley MacLaine, who should give Maggie Smith a run for her money.

I'm hopeless about this show.

I watched the first series on Netflix last fall. I wasn't sure about it during the first episode, but by the end of episode two I was thoroughly engrossed. I am currently watching series two as it airs on PBS and I am enjoying it every bit as much!!

Never watched that show but it's on my queue on Netflix. Currently I'm watching the UK version of Shameless which is an awesome show. I'm also totally addicted to "Skins" and the all time best UK tv show I've ever seen was "Survivors" I actually got misty when I found out they cancelled it. Amazing story

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
