I hadn't heard of Downton Abbey until New Year's Eve. Didn't have time to watch it until I finally got to see part of one show (on Super Bowl Sunday with a friend in the ER) and couldn't wait for more. Lucky for us in NC we had a marathon one Sunday and saw all of Season 2 in one day ending with the season finale. The Type A in me (laugh Karen) watched Season 2, then went on Amazon Prime and at last watched Season l. What I love about Amazon Prime is that I can watch Season 1 again and again!!! Still have the finale on my DVD.
