Life After Downton: MY BRILLIANT FRENEMY
You know the damsels never miss a chance to talk about female friendship, so we were eager and excited to talk about the new HBO series My Brilliant Friend.
For chapter one of this saga of Elena and Lila, not all of us think their bond is always believable, but are we intrigued enough to follow them further in their adventures?
We wrap up this last show of 2018 by highlighting a few recent movies we loved enough to call them One Fabulous Thing.
Get yourself just a drop of celebratory wine and join us for a new episode of Downton Gabby!

But the credits say Helen Froggatt so we’re not sure it’s our dear Anna.
(Therese LOVES the Baroness, in part because of her project on women who don’t want kids. She is a stylish and misunderstood role model)

Life After Downton: COMFORT VIEWINGIt’s hard times out there in the world these days. Luckily, pop culture offers us multiple ways to take a break from reality, and on this episode the damsels are sharing their favorite methods of escapism.
Join as we journey from hundreds of years in the past to hundreds of years in the future to hang out with characters who are a lot more fun than the ones in the news.
But first, we take some time to check in on Downton Abbey movie news (as well as fantasize about receiving our invites to the premiere), and wrap things up with an extra-pleasant round of One Fabulous Thing.
Grab a pour of whatever’s helping you relax these days, and join us for another episode of Downton Gabby!

Life After Downton: CRAZY FUN ENSEMBLES
The damsels slip on their emerald rings and gold jumpsuits to discuss the hit film Crazy Rich Asians.
Avid fans of the books, they compare what works and what’s missing in the film version – but overall gush about the beautiful men in the film.
Then the damsels discuss their favorite ensemble films from the last 80 years (just a short span of time!). Pop open the bubbly, put on your disco Cleopatra dress, and let’s gossip about all of the family members!

It’s official! The Downton Abbey movie goes into production this September and the Damsels couldn’t be more excited. We also have some THOUGHTS. We’re throwing out our wildest predictions and fondest hopes, and tossing our own script suggestions Julian’s way (it’s never too late to reveal Edith is really Rosumund’s daughter !)
Then, we talk about some exciting upcoming women-centric shows featuring some of our favorite actors and creators.
Get that tiara out of the family vault and ask the footman to uncork some champagne because we’re talking Downton Abbey Movie!

Life After Downton: PLUM TIRED
Let’s just admit: it’s rough out there in the real world these days. On this episode, the damsels discuss how the current political climate is affecting what we want from pop culture. Sure, season two of The Handmaid’s Tale is just as well made as the first, but is the bleak storytelling doing us any good as viewers?
And on the new show Dietland, are the feminist messages getting lost in the noise? What kinds of stories about women do we as TV fans hope to see on our screens as the production cycle catches up to the news cycle (if such a thing is even possible)?
In the end, a lively round of One Fabulous Thing reminds us how much art is out there to love and draw inspiration from. So pour yourself a secret glass of the Commander’s whiskey and join us for a new episode of Downton Gabby!
