楼上，楼下 第二季

EP1
老夫人走了，太突然了吧，来了个老妇人的同父异母妹妹，还是个博士，不过暂时没感觉。
傲娇的老夫人可是本剧的亮点之一，听说是跟剧组不合？少了个喜欢吐槽关键时刻最清醒的老太太真可惜。
ivy不在了也没交代，johnny不会伤心，来了个新的厨房女仆，十分酱油，暂时没啥亮点。
小司机第二春也来了，新来的女仆挺有气质的，最后两个应该浪迹天涯吧，两个有想法的人。
就是那小姨子又出现了，第一季对她的印象本来就不是很好，一开始觉得她跟别人想得不同，可能会走唐顿三小姐的路线，结果还真的想得不同，跟纳粹混一起了，幸福的生活就在那，这也太没脑子了吧。
男主在德国和小姨子kiss这个算什么？没前没后，编剧要走狗血路线了么。
还有kent公爵越来越基了，水汪汪的眼睛，还有每次说话声音都像是在跟男主调情啊，男主你不要跟小姨子乱搞了，果断从了公爵才对得起观众们啊。

EP2
 mr landry出现了，笑的时候有种cloony的feel，好帅，好熟面孔啊，感觉像各种美剧里的酱油脸，夫人跟他貌似有戏。
小姨子真的是too simple too naive啊，跟姐夫纠缠不亲，看得真不爽。
lotte唱歌很好听耶，而且好长得好萌，那首德语歌真好听
公爵kent好傲娇啊，一直戳中我萌点，跳了一段小舞，而且跟老友的基情越来越多了。
感觉厨娘跟家人的温馨会悲剧，在缺钱的侄子家做得那些菜也太奢华，她确实是don't know how normal people life.
同父异母姨妈还真的不简单啊，带侄子裸体集会？救犹太人的行动开始了。大家做得事情好有意义，我也要去睡了。
不得不说，BBC必出精品啊，拍摄的角度画面实在精致，特别是犹太小孩到达那里，再加上那段好没的配乐，意境超好。

the wheel of history rolls on….

165 Eaton Place saw a tremendous change of the era, but made no big fuss… yet.

The paradoxical name of the episode, ‘men’ and ‘woman’, foreshadowed the real sexual orientation of the red-haired lady called Lady Portia Alresfold. Unexpectedly, Her relationship with Dr.Blanche was received well by the family members, for it turned out the family members,including Duke of Kent, were all aware of the fact, and accepted it very open-mindedly.

Interestingly, Gold Blaze was a reminder of ‘Orlando’ for me who had taken two lectures on it and the one on yesterday’s morning named’He was a women.’ It was also a love letter for a lover. ‘Not very long’ though.

The Specimen, or the representative of womanhood turned out to be no typical woman one might perceive of that period. In this episode, all the woman characters were making decisions which made them very different from the old fashion, but indeed, represented the change the era witnessed.

Lady Persie got abortion from her affair in Germany. I was glad when Persie was on the back of the horse, she didn’t fall off like Scarlet, and she didn’t return with nothing done like [spoiler alert for madmania!!!] Joan. She was very fragile and it was heartbreaking to see her lying helplessly on the floor of the toilet of the grand hotel. One thing kept worrying me is her relationship with her very caring brother-in-law Sir Hallam Holland. They shared moments of intimacy, in which they revealed their very personal moments or memories. Hallam said, they didn’t understand the significance of the box for me and took it away. After being cared by Hallam tenderly, Persie gave him the box as a thank and a sign of their mutual understanding. A kiss, a night of care, a box, what’s next? When Lady Agnes complained that the Mr.Rich-American won’t forbid her to do anything in the always eventful trailer of the next episode, is the nice story approaching its end in the mid of its second season?

Nevertheless, at this point, I was still in thrall to it.

Beryl left me an impression of the modern woman, though I preferred her much more over the very dramatic girl of the last season. She visited the Woman Friendly Soc. and made a positive change of her maid life and her fellows. While she and the young members of the community of servitude enjoyed the progress of their downstair life, people like Mr Pritchard found it hard to accept the change.

The visit of Lady Agnes to Miss Buck was heart-warming as well as heart-breaking. The era Miss Buck represented was fading away.

Yet Lady Agnes, while portraited as a clown in the incident Beryl brought about, showed little discontent to her dissent of her social status. She was always smiling and was very much a flat character in my view. I hope she could have some development on character in the later episodes.

For old time sake- but I won’t do anything. The old time was wheeling away. The war was drawing near. The cracks under the serene surface of 165 Eaton Place was emerging….
