'Downton Abbey: Season 2'

Anticipation was high for writer Julian Fellowes' internationally acclaimed sequel to last year's Emmy-winning miniseries, shown in the U.S. on PBS' "Masterpiece Classic."

Co-star Maggie Smith earned her own Emmy, and she's back along with Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern and others as the follow-up covers the experiences of the fictional Crawley family in real situations - including the thrust of World War I - between 1916 and 1919. *** (Not rated: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray)
