'Downton Abbey' Season 2 Criticism: 'Sherlock' Star Benedict Cumberbatch Sounds Off (HUFFINGTON POST)




Delayed "Downton Abbey" Season 2 criticism continues, this time from "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch.

In a new profile in the The New York Times, Cumberbatch recalled an encounter with "Masterpiece's'" Rebecca Eaton, a "Downton Abbey" executive producer.

Described by The Times as an affectionate taunting, Cumberbatch said Eaton came up to him at the January 2012 Golden Globes ceremony with her new award for "Downton Abbey."

"I just looked at it and went: 'Begone, woman. Bring it back when it says "Sherlock Holmes" or Steven Moffat or myself -- someone else who's more deserving than the second series of "Downton Abbey."'

" Cumberbatch told The Times, "I know too many people who are in it ... I thought the first series was good. That's what I’ll say."
