    "great cinematography" is used as an excuse for shitty storytelling

oh - don't misunderstand - I can separate the two and make no intention of excusing the bad storytelling (or shallow characters or inconsistencies or, or, or)…

I was merely owning up to enjoying a periodic moment of beauty in a show that has turned into shite.

Have a look at some of the longer sequences in Upstairs Downstairs, the series to which Downton owes its existence and many of its storylines, for long takes which don't announce themselves.
