Maggie Smith To Leave “Downton”


So really: is there any reason for the show to continue? Next season, the program’s sixth, will be Smith’s last, and, by rights, it should be the series’ last. Not just because the Dowager is leaving, but because the show has become such a soap opera that many of its pleasures have flown. Dear Julian Fellowes: time to quit while you are still relatively ahead.
