I'm a DA fan, but my enthusiasm for Season 4 has been diminished after they killed off you-know-who in the season 3 ending car crash.

Considering that the actor no longer wanted to be part of Downton Abbey, you can't really blame the creators for killing his character off. Okay, then I blame the actor himself.

In all fairness, "Downton Abbey" was supposed to be a one-season mini-series. None of the actors expected an extended run, season by season. It was inevitable, IMO, that someone would want to move on to other things, and that's what happened here. Happily, the show's overwhelming popularity (and critical acclaim) is the best thing that has happened for many of the actors involved and they're returning. It's a triumph for Hugh Bonneville, among others.

It's the hypocrytical and perverse admiration the English writers (and probably most or the English) have whilst pretending to be against the class system. All bolshy and working class glorifier on the outside but deep down they gloat about the system "yeah that's us, and everyone envies us for it". I guess you don't know much about writer Julian Fellowes, who is scarcely "bolshy."
