I started watching this during the COVID-19 pandemic, really only for something to watch. I'm pleased I found it, it filled my afternoons very nicely! It's an enthralling tale of the aristocracy and their staff of servants and the relationships between them all. It's sometimes quite shocking for it's time, so don't expect a particularly wholesome show! If your're looking for something to watch, you could do a lot worse. Oh, and though the show spanned about 30 years, no-one ever got any older! :D
