Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)

This time half of the clan goes to France to check into a villa that has been willed to the dowager countess, much to the irritation of the benefactor's wife. Meanwhile, the rest of the group stays behind where an American film crew has hired the Abbey for filming a silent film.

It's all very predictable -- especially as the "dawn of talkies" storyline is lifted straight from Singing in the Rain -- but it's also undeniably better than the last film (not a very high a bar to clear). It felt like a fine wrap-up to the series, setting each character up with a proper ever after.
