The Downton Abbey season 4 finale was an absurd spectacle, filled with gorgeous costumes, over the top romantic plots, rich people problems and a ridiculous caper. It was probably my favorite episode in a long time. The fourth season of the show felt darker than previous ones, and had some of the most compelling stories […]
When an actor leaves a long-running TV series before its natural conclusion, it’s generally not a good thing.
