Three sentence movie reviews: Downton Abbey Season 4

I didn’t take well to the BIG THING that happened at the end of the second episode, and thus was not really enthralled with the whole shebang.  However, the season did have its charming moments, like the scene with Mary, Tom and Isobel sitting in the nursery, talking about when they knew they were in love.  They managed to wrap everything up nicely in the end and I’m interested in seeing what season five brings.

Cost: free for me
Where watched: mom’s house, because she DVR’d the season, thus sparing me from late Sunday nights
