Downton Abbeyhas been saying goodbye for almost a decade now. Premiering in 2010, the critically acclaimed show ended in 2015 after six seasons. But in 2019, the series came back with the first film, Downton Abbey, then again in 2022 with A New Era — both of which ended on what could’ve easily been final notes. But now, 15 years after the original show premiered, Julian Fellowes’ world is finally saying goodbye, and it seems for real this time, with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (it’s in the name, so it has to be, right?) For fans of Downton Abbey who just want another taste of the Crawley family in whatever form they can get it, The Grand Finale is another satisfying hit. But with so many endings to choose from at this point, I couldn't help but wonder if this is the best ending for the series, as maybe one of the prior finales would’ve been a more satisfying conclusion.
