That's right, Downton Abbey is going to be calling it quits after the sixth season. While it's easy to understand the show's reasoning for the ending (it's a quit-while-you're-ahead mentality), it doesn't make the blow any less painful to fans. What is everybody going to do without the Crawleys?! Besides crawl into a hole and cry, obviously.
As one can imagine, people are a bit up in arms about the news of the ending. Even the news of a possible Downton big-screen movie isn't enough to quell their sadness. Fans are as ticked off as the Dowager Countess with a cold cup of tea. They've also taken to Twitter to air their grievances, and it is not pretty. Who knew a bunch of Anglophiles could be so uncivilized?
