Mr. Raj-Singh came across as an oily, prissy, preening, passive-aggressive drama queen. Glad I'll probably never have to be in the same room with him.
"Sir John"'s tears at leaving the house, and lot of the things he said, really made me feel sick to my stomach. Of course you don't want to leave, you pompous prick--no one would want to give up that kind of privileged existence. The whole show demonstrated just how hard it can be to get the privileged to recognize and acknowledge their different status: "Of course my servants are happy," etc.

Only caught part of the last episode.
My favorite bit was when they were showing the movies, the Upstairs folks were sitting around politely ohing and ahing at themselves, while the downstairs folks were hooting it up and making fun of themselves.
The Upstairs folks were pretty pathetic. Raj-Singh very annoying, Sir John's wife saying that she was "meant to be an Edwardian", her sister losing it when she had to say good-bye to the horses. I bet they had a harder time adjusting back to reality then the Downstairs folks.
