I loved how Mary, who was always so ruthless to Edith, was so human to Anna, especially when Bates was jailed and especially when she saved her from a miscarriage. The show is a masterpiece!

[@franziskaohrt294]

I fully agree, it has given Mary a more facetted more real character ❤

[@jayburris6252]

Edith only got what she had given Mary. Mary was smarter so she got Edith better, but Edith was no Angel.

[@avi.chan23]

Mary could be a real bi***, not just towards Edith but also towards others she considered beneath her, sometimes even just for fun like her toying with men.
Edith wasn't an angel neither. So these two gave each other what they deserved.
Still, I totally agree on the statement that Marys relationship with Anna gave her character a lot more depth and made her more likeable.

​@@jayburris6252 mary was way more ruthless towards edith than edith was towards her. Edith was sympathetic when Matthew died, but Mary decided to celebrate the day after Edith's boyfriend died.

[@ashlynnhunt5214]

In season 1, Bates was comforting Robert for the loss of his son. In the last season, Robert congratulating Bates on the birth of his son

[@angeldsouza777]

At times, Anna seemed the person whom Mary trusted - & even loved - most consistently. (How could you not love Anna though! 🥰) And Anna understood Mary so well. She was the best type of friend - honest, fair & loyal. Perhaps they would've even been friends if their class divide had not existed. Mary helping Anna with her pregnancy troubles is the nicest Mary she ever was 😊

[@lalouloune6156]

Mary loved very much Sybil and she loves her family. She was harsh with people who needed to be put in their place. Which was quite fair.

[@tiagocosmos]

i think it's pretty clear they ARE friends. Despite the class divide. Mary trusts and respects Anna and confides in her when she can't do that with anyone else, and Anna sees Mary's hidden softer side that she only shows to people she cares deeply about. Mary isn't flawless, but she's not as bad as everyone who watches this show says she is.

[@FrankHarrington-h7l]

​@tiagocosmos I loved when Mary told Anna she was her best friend! Patricia Gambino Harrington (I post on my husband Frank's UA-cam acct)

[@m.layfette6249]

One moment you forgot to include, was when Lady Mary visits Anna in prison during season 5. Anna had just been arrested for the murder of Mr. Greene.(The A$$hole who raped her in season 4.) Anyway, the prison only allows one visitor per day, so Lady Mary went in place of Bates. That whole scene is played masterfully by both Michelle and Joanne. Their conversation is so endearing. It shows the depth of their relationship beyond the walls of Downton Abbey.

[@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER]

It just leaves the option for a part 2.

[@Coconut110]

My husband and I have watched all the episodes probably 10 times. We always see something we missed before.

[@supermom23]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I’m probably on my tenth time. My family says I have a problem. But I kill it in DA trivia!

[@bernadettevelasco6323]

I miss that show. The twists and turns kept me coming back for more!

[@vickistine9388]

I read they’re making another movie.

[@Samtara1984]

Love their friendship. Love how Mary doesn’t see Anna as a maid but as a friend

[@peach7210]

One of THE best shows ever! Masterpiece.

[@lauradarnall227]

I love watching this show Downton Abbey....

[@abhilashmishra3601]

"he weighs a ton" ofcourse you know it Mary 💀😂

[@deettekearns9092]

I love this show. ❤

[@christina.v.]

Oh how I love this friendship 🥹❤️

[@12classics39]

Friendship goals.

[@leegrant6840]

Loved the show

[@CrimsonThorns]

Anna was loyal to Mary and Mary to Anna

[@kelleyprice3450]

I loved Anna, and she and Mary were so good together. I just never really understood Anna and Bates... they just don't "go" together!

[@nesbqr0508]

Yes, they were so awkward to me too!

[@user-qo5qm6qu4h]

Really they made the series.They were both so excellent.❤❤❤❤

[@Rosemary-vf5ei]

It was Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes which I never really understood. I didn't see any chemistry there.

[@clarisahernandez5280]

I still love your show. I'm sorry but no couples compare to Matthew and Lady Mary.

[@user-vg8cy6ym6l]

I really love them❤️

[@melaniekendall4903]

Ten out of ten for observance from Liz McGovern!

[@1975JorgePerez]

well this is lovely but incomplete :)

[@hpavalferr7201]

👏🏻💯

[@pacnwguy9056]

Overall, the family was very kind to their servants. In real life, I doubt this would have happened except in isolated cases.

[@RavenBlaze]

Sounds like my wife when it comes to routine cleaning

[@thehopefuledwardian]

I ship them.

[@muhammadrashid6699]

That was really a shock he s dead and the question is How ?

[@Titanicdork133]

Mary’s and Anna’s relationship is so unrealistic.

[@MelissaPeralta-fu4ov]

Why?
