Downton Abbey Season 5 won’t Disappoint: Episode 1 Review

Downton Abbey is back and the opening episode of the period drama’s fifth season does not disappoint, placing numerous long-running storylines and a plethora of new subplots into the chute and setting them off.

The sense of permanence that supplies Downton Abbey with much of its gravitational pull is front and center in this feature-length episode. Lord and Lady Grantham are celebrating their thirty-fourth wedding anniversary, while Mr. Carson and Lord Grantham demonstrate the goodwill that underlies their life-long relationship when villagers form a committee to organize a World War I memorial and select Mr. Carson to head their committee instead of Lord Grantham.
