As difficult as it was to watch, it was an understandable creative decision on writer Julian Fellowes's part. If there's nothing to cause the audience substantial upset, then there would be nothing left to satisfy us come the series finale. Go to Full Review Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine 07/01/2016

I feel as if all six seasons of Downton Abbey had been leading to this moment. Go to Full Review Louis Bayard New York Times 07/01/2016
What a pugilistic thrill to see Edith and Mary take off their white gloves. Go to Full Review Joanna Robinson Vanity Fair 07/01/2016
Edith finally got to tell Lady Mary what she thought of her on this week's episode of Downton Abbey. And, yes, it was every bit as satisfying and deserved as you might have hoped. Go to Full Review Andy Swift TV Line 07/01/2016
It took six seasons, but Lady Mary Crawley was finally served a fat slice of humble pie on Sunday's penultimate Downton Abbey - and I have to admit, I kind of loved watching her choke on it. Go to Full Review Caralynn Lippo TV Fanatic 07/01/2016
