A good watch. Downton Abbey for grown ups

Yes, it's very good. An intelligent and funny adaptation of a very underrated trilogy by an underrated writer. I think some reviewers in the UK didn't actually realise it was meant to be bleakly comic though.

Unlike Downton Abby which is just unintentionally funny. I only watched the first series of that. It just got very silly.
