Synopsis: Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey Season 2 (Original U.K. Unedited Edition)
Product Description
As the Great War rages across Europe, discord is sown even into the serence Yorkshire countryside. Simmering tensions behind the gates of Downton Abbey are beginning to come to a boil as the men and women of Downton do their part on both the front lines and the home front. What's more, the brutality and intensity of war seem to inflame more familiar passions - love, loss, blackmail , and betrayal - leaving family and staff alike to struggle in an ever-changing world. Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern return to lead the stellar cast of familiar faces and Maria Doyle Kennedy, Iain Glen and Zoe Boyle arrive to add fresh intrigue to the second season of delicious Emmy Award-winning drama.

| 508 of 521 people found the following review helpful  Absolutely Outstanding Period Drama, By This review is from: Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey Season 2 (Original U.K. Unedited Edition) (DVD) The greatly anticipated second series of Downton Abbey picks up two years on from the first series in 1916, in the middle of World War 1. Downton Abbey has been converted into a convalescent home for injured servicemen and the action covers the period from the Battle of the Somme up to the end of the war. As in the first series, topical events of the period, political, economic and military are covered.The wartime scenario and the convalescent home setting provide an excellent background for some interesting story lines. The combination of excellent plot lines, great acting and the superb setting display all that is best in TV period drama. This time round we have eight more episodes to add to the seven in the first series. As befits wartime, the costumes are not as flamboyant as in the first series but they are thoroughly researched and appropriate to the period. There continue to be many superb individual performances but mention must be made of Maggie Smith...

I got them from the PBS website.Length : 544 minutes on 3 Discs Subtitles : Yes Number of Programs : 9 Includes the Downton Abbey Christmas Special As for season 2, it's pretty much more Downton Abbey. More Matthew/Mary, Mr. Bates/Anna, and more dastardly Miss O'Brien and Thomas. It's very interesting to see things start to change in the WW1 setting as well and some characters go through some big changes. The Christmas Special in particular is beautifully shot and makes me very excited for season 3 which has already been announced. 131 of 140 people found the following review helpful  "War makes early risers of us all.", By Charity Bishop "Film Fanatic" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey Season 2 (Original U.K. Unedited Edition) (DVD) Considered one of the most successful "darlings" in the history of television, the first season of Downton Abbey achieved international success and a worldwide following. Its second season includes the same likable (and some not so likable) characters, but in an entirely new world...When last we left Downton, the house was in turmoil at the recent news that war has begun with Germany. Some time later, the inhabitants of the great old estate have seen their lives immensely changed. Robert (Hugh Bonneville) feels inadequate and wants greatly to once more go to battle rather than staying at home and raising the morale of the women, and his wife Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) is too distracted to take much notice of his melancholy mood. Each of his daughters have embarked on individual quests to be of some use: Mary (Michelle Dockery) is both pining and praying for her beloved Matthew (Dan Stevens) at the front, Edith (Laura Carmichael) is learning to drive a tractor (among other...
