Downton Abbey

What an exceptional show.



Since the Titanic's taken down the only male heirs to the Downton throne the brilliant bitchy, backstabbing  sisters have no choice but to marry their way up in the world and get hitched to an old dude they've only met twice.  Or score the handsome cousin Mathew who becomes the new heir.

With drama and  intrigue it's  classy with so many twists and surreptitious turns, meaningful glances, exceptional costumes and beguiling business below the stairs where the difference between being a valet and a footman in vital.  There's an  Upstairs/downstairs relationship, the dead Turkish hottie, the disdainful dowager and even a gay! 

Season 2 - set more in WW1 London and less at the Grantham estate -   is being made right now and is due to air later this year and there's going to be a Christmas special!   perfect!

 Bring it Downton Abbey.
