Downton Abbey was about upstairs/downstairs affairs in the UK, while this dramedy is about old money/new money in America.
I found the writing hilarious. It's a dry, witty drama with many laugh out loud moments, although one needs to listen closely to notice them. This is not in your face, but subtle.
The costumes are gorgeous and the acting superb, as you'd expect from HBO and the big names involved.
Some of the previous reviewers commented that they didn't like how woke the show was, but I didn't notice that. As far as I could tell, gender and race issues are treated with historical accuracy.
I love this new show and can't wait for more episodes.
