Just read that the woman that plays O'Brien will not be returning for Season 4. What is it with these people?

Yep, I'm hooked. And disappointed that this season is already over. But I'd rather have a short, GOOD season, than a long one that isn't as good. I bet we have to wait quite a while for the next season to be ready.

Next season for the U.S. won't start until January, 2014. Boy, that's a long time to have to wait.

I got season 2 at the library. Watched it in 2 days. Wow.

Love the program and love how we viewers are on first name basis with the characters!

I won't be sad to see O'Brien leave. She's sneaky and vindictive. I know that there has to be those kind of characters or the show would be boring, but I didn't like her when she tripped Bates in the first season and despised what she did after that.( don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen 2nd or 3rd season). I really don't like her.

We watched all the episodes, even the last terrible one, on Netflix. We only have an antennae (sp?) and only get a couple of NPR (our favorite channel) and ABC news. We watched the entire series these last few weeks. I don't know why some of you aren't finding them. DH did put us down for Dowton Abbey some time ago, but we didn't start looking at them until about a month ago. A great series.

Bates, for some reason (maybe because he was sooo uncriminal-like) was disliked by his room mate and one of the guards and the guard with held his letters. I also was unsure why they disliked him so much. Maybe because his wife came to visit so often?

Is there going to be more???

the line i posted was just found doing a search for Downton Abbey discussions. there were many.

Netflix must be different in different areas, I got season 2 from netflix in Washington state.

I am addicted to this series. Hopefully next season is as good as all the rest.
