but seriously, my wife fell asleep in the movie and I'm stuck watching this borefest

How was this a popular tv show?

It wasn't that it was poorly executed, it's just that I didn't care at any point. Get through it and get home to the good stuff.

Downtown abbey is a rancid hellscape.

All the smart money moved to suburban abbey.

Wrong. I've never seen the show but from what I can tell the average wealth of people who live in Downtown Abbey is massive.

I went to the farmer's market in the scary downtown today. A vendor was offering samples of fried tofu in a chili sauce. It was great so I bought a small container. My wife called to say the credit card had been hacked and someone bought tofu with it.

maybe all this trans and non binary talk is starting to impact me

I'd say so, as you are now literally a soy boy.

Probably not as good as when Lady Mary fucked a Turk to death.

I hope I'm not ruining the movie for everyone but the story is based around that oldest dowager having nailed some Frenchie back in the day and him gifting her an estate on the Mediterranean. The family takes a trip there because the Abbey is being rented for movie production, which pays for the upkeep of the aging home. Essentially the story is that the rich get much richer without having break a sweat...and people applaud this shit? Meanwhile the working folks all seem to be living in a state of semi serfdom at downton, with no hope for upward mobility for themselves or their families...but they seem to be in a state of bliss.

Midget would have a field day analyzing this

I'm not sure the lives of the lords and ladies are as idyllic as you make it sound. Sure, they dress for dinner in nice clothes. But every person has his or her role to play within the feudal system. Lord Grantham's responsibilities to the community weigh heavy upon him.

There is a poignant moment when Lord Grantham is recuperating in bed while the women and servants are running an open house at Downton. A young boy sneaks into the Lord's bedroom and they have a frank conversation about their respective stations in life. The boy wisely opines that he would never want the life of Lord Grantham.

This is an object lesson as America embraces neo-feudalism. Would you really want to be Jeff Bezos?

My wife started watching the series, which means....I started watching the series.

There are a lot worse shows than Downton Abbey...but she got bored with it, so that's the end. I guess I won't have to watch "A New Era" :lol:
