Short description

Downton Abbey is a British-American period drama television series co-created by Julian Fellowes and Gareth Neame and co-produced by Carnival Films and Masterpiece.

Long description

Set in England in the years leading up to the First World War, Downton Abbey tells the story of a complicated community. The house has been home to the Crawley family for many generations, but it is also where their servants live, and plan, and dream, and they are as fiercely jealous of their rank as anyone. Some of them are loyal to the family and committed to Downton as a way of life, others are moving through, on the look out for betterment or love or just adventure. The difference is that they know so many of the secrets of the family, while the family know so few of theirs. But for all the passions that rage beneath the surface, this is a secure world, serene and ordered, and, at first glance, it seems it will last forever. Little do they know, family or staff, that the clouds of the conflict that will change everything are already gathering over their heads.

  The most classy and elegant series in years

About the ups and downs of the Grantham estate and their servants. Set in 1912-1914 on an estate in Britian. I'll shortly say that each episode contains the most artfully created combination of drama and comedy. You get to know the characters quickly, and you love them with your heart. I cannot say which aspects are excellent, because they all are. I realize that I cannot describe it adequately, but I plead: don't take my word for it, buy Downton Abbey without thinking about it any longer, and then take your own word for it. Don't think 'this isn't my kind of thing'. Take the risk, you owe it to yourself.
