Would DA have been better has it started in 1920 (not 1912)
I'm American and I was a fan of this show. Downton Abbey starts in 1912 with the sinking of H.M.S. Titanic.
I found the war episodes to be so appalling that I skipped almost all of Season 2.
I loved the Machiavellian actions and schemes of both the Royals and the servants.
The war episodes were grim. Difficult for me to watch. I'm not against portraying war in a film or a series it is just that is not why I wanted to watch Downton Abbey.
Do you think the series would have been better had it started in 1920 two years after the end of WWI?
