Downton Abbey
Creator
Julian Fellowes
Across the grand estate of Downton Abbey, the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family are inseparable from those of the servants who keep their world running below stairs. Set in the Yorkshire countryside from the sinking of the Titanic through the upheavals of the early twentieth century, the series charts a rigid social order strained by inheritance crises, forbidden romances, and the slow erosion of a way of life. Lord Grantham fights to preserve his family's legacy while his three daughters chafe against expectation, and downstairs the loyal, ambitious staff navigate their own rivalries and secrets. Elegant, sharply written and deeply humane, it turns the etiquette of a vanishing England into gripping, intimate drama where a single glance or misplaced letter can upend a life.
