I’m a sucker for good British television (Python, Fawlty, Sherlock), and this period drama is another I find addictive.
The aristocratic Crawleys, despite their upper-crust lifestyle, aren’t immune to scandal and intrigue. Add a houseful of servants with their own issues, toss in some blackmail, a dash of spurned lovers, and a desperate attempt to preserve the family title, and you have a rollicking affair.
You’ll love the splendor of the setting (a Yorkshire estate in the early 1900s),the writing is magnificent, and the acting first-rate. I’ve streamed it on Netflix, but DVDs are also available.
