With so many twists of fate packed into Downton Abbey’s brief seasons, it can be hard to keep track of who’s good, who’s bad and who might simply be too dull to be one or the other. Luckily, flavorwire.com has ranked the characters by their moral reprehensibility. And many of the site’s opinions are spot on. Take the Dowager Countess for example:
