Second would be Tom Branson, followed by many of the staff... the Bates, Mrs. Patmore, Daisy, Carson, Mrs. Hughes.
I liked Matthew and I love his down to earth mother, Isobel Crawley.
The dowager just said something hilarious again when talking to Tom. "Oh, no. If I were to search for logic, I should not look for it among the English upper class!"
I can only watch to the end of Season 4 on Netflix, but my daughter, who's been encouraging me to watch the series for some time, says there will be a marathon of Season 5 before Season 6 starts here in January.
I've also found a pretty good website for watching shows online once I navigate through all the pop-ups so I can most likely find Season 5 there.
My Daughter says there's another series on now called "Indian Summers" that is set in the English colonization of India. She says it's very good as well.
