Downton Abbey - the TV series

in #perioddrama5 years ago

Downton Abbey is a period drama that was originally broadcasted in the UK from 2010 to 2015. It is about an aristocratic family Lord Grantham and Lady Grantham and his three daughters Lady Mary, Lady Edith and Lady Sybil and the household of servants.

Lord Grantham has no son so he needs to ensure that one of his three daughters marry a blood relative so the wealth stays within the family. This responsibility falls on to Lady Mary. Mary eventually marries Matthew, a distant cousin who is a lawyer and not born into an aristocratic family.

The plot of the Downton Abbey is not only about how the rich live their glorious lifes. It's also about the relationship between rich and the servants, as well as their interaction with those from the upcoming new money families from the early 20th century. One particular scene that always sticks to my mind is when Lady Mary is at her home admiring some paintings with a gentlemen who made his fortune that way. She said "My lot collect them, your lot buy them", that shows the different source of wealth between the old and new.

Another character that is famous for her witty lines is the Lord Grantham's mother, Violet, Dowager Countess played by Dame Maggie Smith. She always steals the show with her sharp and shrewd, and often sacrastic comments yet we can't but help love her.

During its 6 years of broadcast, Downton Abbey has been nominated and won many awards including the Golden Globe Award and Primetime Emmy Award. It is the most watched TV series on UK's ITV and US's PBS channel. I was very sad when the series ended, and am now looking for the movie to be released in September this year.
