I absolutely adore Edith, her growth and character development was impeccable. I was so thankful that after being seen as the side character sister for majority of the series she ended up having the higher title and in my opinion, the nicer man in the end. Truly wonderful character

The actress they showed the photo of playing Queen Elizabeth in The Crown is Olivia Coleman, they should have shown the photo of Imelda Staunton in the role. While both are longtime favorites of mine, Staunton can take any role and make it her own, she is such an underrated actress in America, she was absolutely perfect in Sense and Sensibility! Though come to that, so is her amazing husband, underrated! Jim Carter can take on the personna of absolutely anyone and play it perfectly. One of my favorite roles of his was in The Golden Compass, playing John Faa. That was such an amazing movie with a stellar cast, why they shelved the sequels is such a shame!!

Mrs. Patmore ( the Auntie) & Mrs. Hughes (the mother) were such good girlfriends! Lady Sybil & Lady Edith were so empowered made women feel we could do anything!!!! Last but not least Robert the Earl of Grantham was all that an Earl should be Regal, compassionate, Stern with a dry sense of humor & a wonderful Waltz partner!
