The day has arrived! You can own Downton Abbey: The New Era on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, and DVD or stream it from home. Peyton and I missed seeing Downton Abbey in the theater so we are so excited to be able to watch it at home. So grab some popcorn and read what we thought of Downton Abbey.
First, Peyton and I have never seen the series Downton Abbey but when Peyton saw the trailer she knew she had to see it for herself.
As 2 film enthusiasts that have not seen a Downton Abbey episode before I can say we thoroughly enjoyed the film! You don’t need to have seen the series or been a lifelong fan to enjoy Downton Abbey: The New Era. I thought it stood on its own very well. I’m sure there are references that we missed but I felt that we both enjoyed the film very much.
Here is the short synopsis of the film –
