Downton Abbey

CriticsCritics: 84
AudienceAudience: 8.5

Set in the post-Edwardian era, this series follows an aristocratic family and the servants who live and work alongside them. As major events reshape Britain and its social hierarchy, both groups navigate changing expectations and the rhythms of life on a grand estate.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like character-driven period dramas about class, relationships, and social change, especially Sense & Sensibility; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or constant high-stakes thrills.
