An addictive blend of suds and social commentary, ITV's Downton Abbey brings a microcosm of Edwardian society together under one roof. Lord Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) and his awesome family live a lifetime of leisure, while a fleet of servants, including butler Carson (Jim Carter), attend to their every need, but two events conspire to shake things up: the sinking in the Titanic, which claims Crawley's heirs, and the return of his valet, Bates (Brendan Coyle). Since Crawley and Lady Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) have three daughters, his distant solicitor cousin, Matthew (Dan Stevens), becomes heir towards the estate. With that, the scheming begins, since Thomas the footman (Rob James-Collier) views Bates as a possible interloper and Crawley's mother, Violet (Maggie Smith), feels the same way about Matthew's mother, Isobel (Penelope Wilton).
In the tradition with the BBC's Upstairs Downstairs and Robert Altman's Gosford Park, which is why writer-creator Julian Fellowes received an Academy Award, the royals, servants, and middle-class relations struggle to get along. Sniffs uptight maid Miss O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran), "Gentlemen don't work," but it doesn't stop Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith Crawley (Laura Carmichael) from competing for Matthew's affections. Though it will take awhile to warm-up for the tightest-wound characters, most everyone reveals their more vulnerable side before the first season comes to a end, as well as a new small-screen classic is born.

The entire sprawling cast is fairly wonderful, particularly Bonneville, Carter, and James-Collier, who supply a fascinating study in contrasts (the latter is downright dastardly). Unlike the version that aired on PBS's Masterpiece Classic, this set offers seven parts instead of four. Extras include a featurette, where cast and crew discuss the production, and an introduction to Hampshire's Highclere Castle, which doubles for Downton Abbey. The first season was a phenomenon inside the United Kingdom, and Fellowes has promised an additional season set during World War I. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Set in a Edwardian country house in 1912, "Downton Abbey" portrays the lives of the Crawley family along with the servants who work for them. Downton will be the home of the Crawleys, who have been the earls of Grantham since 1772. In the drawing rooms, library and beautiful bedrooms, using their tall windows looking over the park, lives the family, but below stairs is also residents - the servants, as fiercely possessive of the ranks as anyone above. Some ones are loyal to the family and are committed to Downton as being a strategy for life, while other people are on the lookout for new opportunities, love or simply adventure.
