An addictive mixture 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 the family live a life of leisure, while a fleet of servants, including butler Carson (Jim Carter), deal with their every need, but two events conspire to shake things up: the sinking from the Titanic, which claims Crawley's heirs, along with 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 to 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 identical way about Matthew's mother, Isobel (Penelope Wilton).
In the tradition in the BBC's Upstairs Downstairs and Robert Altman's Gosford Park, that 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 require awhile to warm-up on the tightest-wound characters, most everyone reveals their more susceptible side prior to the first season comes for an end, and a new small-screen classic is born.

The entire sprawling cast is quite wonderful, particularly Bonneville, Carter, and James-Collier, who provide 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 in lieu of four. Extras incorporate a featurette, by which cast and crew discuss the production, as well as an introduction to Hampshire's Highclere Castle, which doubles for Downton Abbey. The very first season was obviously a phenomenon inside United Kingdom, and Fellowes has promised another season set during World War I. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Downton Abbey -- a sprawling, lavish Edwardian mansion nestled in the Yorkshire landscape -- needs an heir. Dame Maggy Smith stars as Violet, the stubborn Dowager Countess of Grantham matriarch of Downton. Hugh Bonneville stars as her son, the stoic, unflapple Lord Crawley. Elizabeth McGovern is his far-sighted American wife, Cora. From Academy Award-winner Julian Fellowes. This may be the original un-edited UK version of the program.
