Downtown Abbey

Downton Abbey

Synopsis:

Lord Grantham sees his family heritage, especially the grand country home Downton Abbey, as his mission in life. The death of his heir aboard the Titanic means distant cousin Matthew Crawley, a Manchester lawyer, suddenly is next in line and accepts moving onto the vast estate with his even more modernist, socially engaged mother, who clashes with his lordship's domineering, conservative mother, the dowager countess. Marrying off the daughters is another concern. Meanwhile, the butler presides over a staff that serves the family, but also leads most of their entire lives in the servants' quarters, intriguing amongst themselves.

Recommendation:

We recommend it to the lover of the period series set during the First World War. You will follow the story of a British family in the middle of the war and as they accept the new technological advances and the dramas of all the characters, both the nobility and the servants.
