This particular series is set in the fictional Downton Abbey, the Yorkshire country house of the Earl and Countess of Grantham, and follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants during the reign of King George V. If you like movies like Pride and Prejudice or the Young Victoria (like I do) you're most likely going to adore this show. Its not your common TV show, for one thing I felt really educated - probably because of the "British-ness" of it. It's different and interesting to see another lifestyle. I thought I wouldn't like it...but it really really draws you in!
The first series spans the two years before the Great War beginning with news of the sinking of the Titanicin 1912, which sets the story in motion. The second series covers the years 1916 to 1919, and the 2011 Christmas Special covers the 1919 Christmas period, ending in early 1920.
SOOOOO check it out yo! The first episode happens to be free on iTunes right now!!!
Love,
ALPHA
