    Not even in the same league as Downton Abbey but still enjoyable, I like Tom Hollander in pretty much everything he's in, I felt the leading actress wasn't quite up to it, but as always Ian McShane owns!

    Even when the plot gets a bit muddled, it all goes down easily, with elaborate gowns on the women, beautiful furnishings in elegant rooms, and rolling green fields to keep us diverted even as we're wondering who that gentleman or that lady is related to. The cast is hit-and-miss.

    A perfectly serviceable, occasionally adorable, utterly predictable period drama.

    The fun part is how well Doctor Thorne’s various messages translate over a century later: how societal slights still hurt, unloved offspring still feel unloved, and star-crossed lovers always manage to find their way back to each other.
