Review: This show takes two points of view from a large family estate, Downton Abbey, in the Yorkshire countryside of England. There are three series that range from 1912-1921. The show takes a look at the world of the aristocratic family who owns Downton and the servants who work there.
Opinion: I loved this show and can't wait for more. I have heard so much about it but wasn't sure it would be something that I would like, but I ended up getting sucked right in. I think I watched the entire first two series in a week, but I have yet to watch the third.
Ideas: I would recommend this show to anyone who likes historical pieces, high drama, and romance. I would recommend the second series to anyone who is doing any research on WWI, even though it's fictional, it would give a good insight to how the British people were involved in the War, and what it entailed.
