Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ReviewThe 1930s are upon us and with that, fresh challenges for the Crawleys. Smith herself died last year at the age of 89, but the upstairs/downstairs residents of the Abbey return here one more time for (another) fond farewell that begs the question as to whether you can possibly have a Downton Abbey without its endlessly quotable centrepiece. The Grand Finale is, in all likelihood, exactly what you came for. However, if you’ve come this far with the Crawley clan, then The Grand Finale is, in all likelihood, exactly what you came for. Cloying in places and unapologetically sentimental, it’s a cosy au revoir (yes, another one) to the cast of bumbling toffs and their dutiful attendants who we’ve come to love over the past 15 years.
