I love this show - it is a well done period piece and I am really enjoying it. I love that I can stream current episodes from the website if I can't stay up that late on Sunday evenings to enjoy it.

I think I saw the original series on Netflix? That memory could be incorrect, I may still have had Uverse at that time and had recorded it on my DVR. Anyway, high-class historical soap or not it is quite well done.

I've also done some reading over the years about the social changes in England during this time period - WWI couldn't help but to cause major changes in British society/class lines. They appear to have done their research well for this series.
