Downton Abbey’s Alarming Adoption Plot

KNOCKED UP

As an adoptive parent, I felt for the family that had loved the baby and lost her. There was scarcely a mention that Edith’s change of heart would wreak havoc in theirs.

For all its flaws, I love Downton Abbey.

The costumes and locale are sumptuous. The acting is strong enough to make even the most obviously contrived plot reversals seem nearly plausible.
