Downton Abbey

[FeltCarrot]

I’m watching reruns of DA on Netflix and my god, Bates is a creepy so and so. Seems so upstanding and virtuous but far too old for Anna and I bet he did do away with the first Mrs Bates.

Their storylines are the only ones I fast forward through- all the imprisonments etc. he was a dick when he thoughts Anna was using contraception to stop herself getting pregnant too, even though she told him she was desperate for a baby.

Binge watching you really see the flaws in the characters.

I never got how Bates was held in high regard by all the other characters, was you say he did come across as really creepy.
For everything the 2 of them went through you'd imagine you'd have some sympathy for the characters but I didn't have a jot for either of them.
Whereas Thomas and O'Brien, who were both horrible characters I loved.
As you can tell I love Downton
