This show on PBS's Masterpiece Series is the story of a British family with the exception of the American wife. The story centers on an inheritance issue brought about by the sinking of the Titanic and an odd British estate practice called an Entail.
The plot is good but even moreso the acting is precise. The upstairs/downstairs part of the show is very intriguing showing us the lives of the the servant class as well as the estate holders.
Who would ever have thought that the lives of who is a butler and who is a valet could be so interesting.
With news that a new 8 part continuation of the series is planned and a Christmas special as well clearly I am not the first to say this is one of the finest shows I have seen on free TV in a long long time.
