I loved the tv-serial and love that history period, so the book was natural extension of that fascination. I would like to read it in a form of a novel as well.

I had become tired of waiting for season 5, and so to appease my anxiety til it does,  I decided to re-watch seasons 1 through 4, at a leisurely pace that would carry me through until season 5 is available.  The leisurely pace morphed into the same "must watch-every night", two or three episodes. as I was drawn back inside the multiple story lines and plot twists that had made me an "abbey maniac" the first time around.  Wonderful story-telling, superbly acted, I have only three more episodes of season 4 left to watch and still 4 months away from season 5!  Ah, but thanks to the consummate skills of writer-producer Julian Fellows, I'll just switch over to watching "Monarch of the Glenn", which is almost as wonderful as Downton Abbey, and, if I carefully control myself, doing so will get me through to the Abbey, season 5.

The only regret I have in watching this series is that my eagerness to consume all the episodes was inappeasable and I devoured them far too quickly! I was absolutely fixated on each scene and the story-line (burned the casserole in the oven). Since the ending left plenty of room for more, I hope to see another series soon? O.K., I'm begging Mr. Cassidy, write some more for a future series. Each episode is brilliantly written with the perfect amount of tension/drama and very believable dialogue and characters. I especially enjoyed William Fichtner's outstanding performance of Sheriff Underlay. I'm going to look for William's name in future movie picks.

  This series also nudged me to think deeper about evolution, UFO theories, and other deep mysteries of our world. It's an excellent example of great writing and directing, but you'll be starving for more at the end. Who do we call to bring it back???

I have just loved re-watching the entire series and I am sad to see it ends.  There isn't anything else on television quite like it.  I have laughed and cried and I look forward to each and every episode!

I have loved this saga of a family and have seen all of it more than once.  The BBC did it I assume and they do geat things.  I also appreciate that the DVDS in this case have subtitles which mots BBC drama has not had .

I've been enjoying the reruns so much, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase the complete series so I could watch at my leisure. Plots are So much better than all the other programs that are slapped together for viewers today.

My partner and I have an enormous collection of British TV sets (which are regularly loaned out to friends).  We bought Murder in Suburbia from Borders as separate seasons (each cost us more than Amazon's price for the complete set!), and they are probably the most-recommended and frequently-loaned-out set of light murder programs we have. They are really great fun, with possibly the most charmingly neurotic leads in British TV.  We were heartbroken that the series was discontinued so soon, but that's Brit TV for you.  If you like Caroline Catz in Doc Martin, you'll love her here, and Lisa Faulkner is equally fabulous.  I'd like to see more of her work, as she is incredibly versatile.  Granted, this show is not Foyle's War, but it's a _delight_, and the episodes are short enough to enjoy mid-week.  Highly recommended!

I loved watching the shows. The plot was well thought out and the costumes for the most part were interesting. I did see Sindad with a pair of tennis shoes on which made me laugh. I really enjoyed the series. Best wishes

The scripts for this show were so imaginative. Every episode was either a lot of fun or edge-of-your-seat exciting. Wish they were still on. Even though they weren't all that true to life, I miss these characters.

I loved this when it originally aired.  I thought it had great potential to be a series.  I definitely would have watched it!

I loved this show when it first aired. A great, fresh concept. And I love the hyper-stylized sets and costumes. Watching it again has been a lot of fun. I grabbed the first season on sale Black Friday, but will probably pick up the second at full price.

I'll never understand why the BBC opted not to continue this fantastic series. From the very first episode, I was hooked. It's so rare to see a show that centers on the females, and even more rare to see females in roles that are diverse and multi-faceted. I loved them all... everyone from Kitty to Flora to Rosalie. While they weren't always likable at times, I felt like I always related to them. It was also a very romantic series (perhaps this is why the BBC cancelled it... was it too "soap opera" for BBC One?) Nevertheless, the plot never centered on the romance. Each episode featured a few new characters dealing with different issues, and each one was thoroughly engaging. The sets & costumes evoked the period quite well, and you really get a sense of how horrible it would have been during this war-torn period of history. As for the male cast, Thomas was very handsome and Miles was utterly adorable. And the fact that we don't get to see more of this phenomenal cast of characters makes me feel very gutted.

Great beginning, I saw the first episode for free.  I'm tempted to buy more, but I'm too cheap right now.  I read the books and feel like they captured the feel and characters very well.

When the show was first run on TV I rarely had the chance to see it weekly.  With the release onto DVD, I could watch it marathon-style, which s a great way to keep up with the continuity.  The characters become even more personal and I found I couldn't wait to see the next episode.  It's a shame the series had to end.  I'm glad it ended the way it did.  Excellent writing.  Excellent acting.

I really like the episode approach to the story.  This was my first experience with serialized fiction on Kindle and I really enjoyed it.  Looking forward to reading the rest.

Loved the show - very sad when it ended and now I can watch it any time I want.  Love the case with the reaper carved out since I loved the Sons meeting table, now I have a replica.  The book with the seasons 1 - 6 is a big bonus since it has the slots for Season 7 (which I have pre-ordered).
