I marathoned the whole thing a little while after the series finale. I never expected it to be anything BUT a beautifully-shot costume porn soap opera.

But one thing that it did, that almost never happens, is that the older female characters got to have romantic plotlines that were treated as seriously as the "main" characters' romances. Seriously, other than Golden Girls, when was the last time a septuagenarian woman was allowed to have a romance? Let alone a love triangle! Older MEN get to have romantic plots all the time--but the women involved are half their age. Bruce Willis gets to woo Megan Fox, not Helen Mirren. So the fact that Isobel, Violet, Mrs. Patmore, and Mrs. Hughes, and to a lesser extent Cora, got to have valid romances is a pretty big deal, IMO.

That is such a wonderful and awesome point, anon! Older ladies deserve romantic subplots too! <3

I really loved that, too.

It's also interesting that those older women were regular characters and (with the exception of Cora/Robert and Hughes/Carson, where the men were also regular characters already) their love interests were introduced for little other purpose than to be love interests.
