Upstairs, Downstairs

AudienceAudience: 8.2

An aristocratic household and its loyal servants share a London townhouse for nearly three decades. As society changes through political upheaval, scandals, shifting social attitudes, and the First World War, life above and below stairs becomes increasingly complicated.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy richly detailed British period dramas, class-focused stories, and long-running family sagas; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, modern sensibilities, or lavish visuals like Victoria.
