Light-hearted companion piece for shows that can be a bit stuffy. No, they’re not historians (a common complaint here). There are a million other resources for fact-checking episodes of The Crown. That’s not why I listen.

They are constantly getting things wrong. (fictional and factual) The Downton episodes were bearable… but holy cow when they start on The Crown …their lack of knowledge of the shows and basics of the British Monarchy and peerage is cringe. FYI Highclere Castle would never be referred to as the...Read full review »

Found this looking for all the Gilded Age podcasts and realized that the Lords like a lot of the same shows I do. Having a blast listening to their take on my favorite historical dramas.

2024 just started and I’m watching D.A. For the first time. I wanted a recap podcast to help my ADHD brain keep track of the storyline & characters. I downloaded 6 podcasts this was the only one that started at the very beginning. So far, I’m enjoying it though it’s lighthearted and easy to...Read full review »

I love recap podcasts and I love The Gilded Age, but this podcast isn’t as great as it could be. A little more humor, and little more research would make it better.

Thank you for the thoughtful romps!

Really enjoying the Gilded Age coverage. Great podcast.

These guys take a serious, soapy series (which I adore, by the way!) and respectfully poke fun, all the while giving us a plot summary, character analysis and a great reminder of all the things we love about the Crawley! UPDATE - Dec 2022 I started listening with Downton, and continued on and off...Read full review »

I find there’s a lot of things they get wrong. Names are mispronounced and facts are off: Harriet Walter did not play Shrimpie’s wife, she was Lady Shackleton. Robert is never Robert Grantham. Bellasis is BELL-a-sis, not Bell-AA-sis. To name a few.

While there were some episodes that were quite good, there was quite a bit of it that I couldn’t really stand and really didn’t like that they basically made fun of the shows that they were covering. It also showed that they really didn’t do any sort of research into the historical dramas that...Read full review »

A fun way to get even more out of the show. Listening to these two feels like watching Downton with friends. I often find myself debating with them through my speakers. Overall refreshing and fun!

As a die-hard Downton Abbey, The Crown, and Poldark fan, I am always so happy to listen to Corey and Dave break down each episode, provide their impressions and fun rankings at the end. Their banter is so funny at times that I laugh out loud. They are also serious when it counts, which...Read full review »

The summary says it all. If you want a perspective on all things Julian Fellowes (and more) that comes from people who are sane enough NOT to dress up for watching parties or write fanfiction, this is the thing.

Meh
I mean no disrespect, you guys are doing your thing and I appreciate that but I listened to one episode and as big fan of Downton … it was just boring. Good luck though
mj091080 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/22
These guys don’t do any research on the podcast whatsoever. They keep referring to the Crawley family as “the Granthams.” That is Robert Crawley’s title, NOT his name! One of them went to Highclere Castle wondering why there was an exhibit of Egypt. Just a little bit of research would’ve...Read full review »

I just discovered this podcast a couple of weeks ago, and wow! I found it when I searched for The Gilded Age podcasts, but their back catalogue is really fun!
Kaeto123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/22
Love their recaps. Worth the listen!
Canna1980 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
Worth a listen Major fam forever!
Veritaslisaint via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/22
Covering everything royal, Downton and beyond, with a dash of smart and sass. I wouldn’t miss an episode. You guys are the best. Thanks so much for doing this!

I enjoy listening with tea and Krumpits.

If you are a fan of: Downton Abbey The Crown Poldark The English Game Bridgerton …Wrestling(!) Then look no further, this is the podcast for you. Lords of Grantham is a perfect companion to English drama, deep diving episode by episode as well as coving the wider fandom. Truly a joy to listen...Read full review »

Found these guys by accident and now for at least three years, I can’t imagine them not in my ears (and heart!). Casual, very funny breakdowns of all things Masterpiece with “Downton Abbey” always taking top bill. Recently the boys are breaking down “Poldark” and I’m enjoying their enthusiasm...Read full review »

Just horrible! I listened to 2 episodes and it’s like hearing a synopsis from someone who didn’t watch the show. You are both so confused about character names, relationships, events, work, location—everything! Story revolves around the waning MINES and MINE OWNERS of CORNWALL-not WALES, as the...Read full review »

Just finished the Downton Abbey coverage on this podcast. It was fun to hear them talk prepandemic and can’t wait to dive into a Crown Reatch!
Kirky600 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/04/21
Im just giggling like a little kid listening to their summaries of downtown, and the comparisons to sports and other things its just great lol.
lindsaythelost via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/21
The Lords of Grantham have been a mainstay in my feed since I found them before the Downton movie came out. They're casual and funny and have a unique format when breaking down shows like The Crown and Downton Abbey. Who would've thought the best Downton podcast would do a pro wrestling...Read full review »

Energized and lively discussions of Downton Abbey and The Crown—these guys are a fun hang that don’t overstay their welcome.
cmcnair88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/21
Honestly, I'd listen to these guys talk about anything - the fact that it's about Downton (and now The Crown) is just gravy!Read full review »

UPDATED REVIEW FOR THE CROWN: I loved these guy’s coverage of Downton; as noted in my previous review below. In fact I go back and listen to them still for laughs. Therefore, I was so pumped when they decided to do a watch through of The Crown. More entertaining weekly content! However, I could...Read full review »

Grew up with Dave and Corey, just getting into the show now. The pod is a great way to recap each episode to ensure you remember and analyze it all, which is otherwise tricky to do when binge-watching. Love their format, with the recap and analysis, followed by three up, three down power...Read full review »

These gentlemen host the perfect pick-me-up every week. They have the perfect amount of humor, knowledge, and charisma that makes each episode charming and entertaining. They did a fantastic job covering Downton Abbey with their weekly episode reviews, character ratings, and showdowns that made...Read full review »

Great Downton podcast, these gentleman offer a recap of each episode as well as tidbits of knowledge along the way. Wonderful stories usually accompany each. Humorous as well, one host went to England to visit Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey is filmed. His story of getting stuck in the...Read full review »

Rewatched Downton Abbey this summer to prep for the movie, and since my brain didn’t want to think about anything besides Downton when I wasn’t watching it, I found this to listen to during my very boring summer job!! And let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. Laughed out loud multiple times in...Read full review »

I started watching Downton Abbey in preparation for the movie after many friends recommending it. Not only was I hooked with this amazing show (and dragged my mom with me) but then I discovered this podcast and not only are these guys hilarious but they review the show in a way that you can tell...Read full review »
Claudia0625 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/19
Love it. As a 30 year old American man, it’s great to experience the show with a couple of dudes who also don’t fit the target demographic. Every episode has me laughing out loud. I’m a Downton Daddy for life.
Lingus Reed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/19
If you listen to the first 2 episodes and are annoyed with the sound quality, stick it out because that issue gets resolved right away. It’s so worth it. Some of the commentary is golden (i.e. this reviews title), and will have you literally laughing out loud. This is basically a chill...Read full review »

Big Downton fan who unfortunately doesn’t know any other watchers in real life. It’s fun to listen to these two guys talk about the episodes as I feel like it’s the kind of conversations I would have with friends. Love the rankings they do each episode and the season summaries. Can’t wait to hear...Read full review »

Rather like Mrs Patmore's season 3 treacle tart, this podcast hits the spot. Let the Lords of Grantham be your stick as they guide you through the topsy turvy world of Downton Abbey. They bring a fresh and funny perspective to the show, with episode by episode coverage as well as looking at...Read full review »
veyron-itunes via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/22/18
I've laughed out loud several times listening to this, and at the same time felt the need to go back and watch an episode or check something I missed in Downton Abbey. These aren't historians or nitpickers about detail-- they're just normal people who enjoy the show and like to talk...Read full review »
LadyVodkaCranberry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/18
I couldn’t get into this pod, I listen to the first two episodes. Hosts ignore the norms of the time and of the position of each character (yes, Mary hooking up with a random guy before she is married would have been a big deal, 2018 norms don’t apply). Titles are often used incorrectly....Read full review »
