Watched a few episodes of Downton Abbey today. It's been around for quite awhile now, but I've watched perhaps half of it, jumping around, out of sequence, between seasons/series... lots of melodrama, but entertaining.
I notice that Brit period dramas tend to focus on the upstairs/downstairs dynamics a lot... It'd be interesting to see a drama about the middle classes at some point. Not that they were entirely missing from Downton. They weren't the focus, though.
