Yes, Ive watched the series over 200 times! I have much to say, but will make only a few points. 1. I dont see the advantage of producing the last 3 movies, -vs- extending the series. Only a DA fan will understand the context. The loss of context to a DA newbie is way worse than previous two movies. I dont see the advantage of the movies -vs- extending the series. 2. The "Patrick Gordan" issue was never resolved which I consider an important unaddressed potential plot! Freshen up your recall if you must! I hoped the movie would address this cliffhanger, and I cant imagine hardcore DA fans would disagree. Wouldn't it have been more interesting than Mary's divorce?!? 3. I was grateful the screenplay avoided "HS" intimacy this time. Those previous scenes should've been cut in the first place. I was going to leave the theater if it happened again. I find it unbelievable that the "H's" deviance would be more tolerant than "sleeping with a stranger." Overall, the disgraced divorce plot is weak. They should've expanded on the Patrick Gordan claim to the Earldom as a finale.
