There are about a million reasons why this show was the number one break out drama of the 2016-17 TV season. It's relatable on many levels for those of us in our 30's, as well as for our parents. We can see ourselves and our society in the characters we're watching on TV. It's given families a chance to reconnect, to talk about how we look back on the same time period and have such different views of what happened based on the roles we played in our own families.

Period drama at its best (0 more)
Can get bogged in the historical details. (0 more)
The next Downtown
If you like Downton, you’ll love this. Witty, contemplative, And engaging, you are continually swept along with the narrative that transports you back to the time of Waterloo and the subsequent architectural development of an up and coming London society.

Occasionally the historical references to architectural nuances can prove a little dull and distract from the flow of the narrative, but the characters are engaging and the storylines keep you raptured to the end.

McKellen teamed up with director Bill Condon in 1998 for Gods & Monsters. This period drama recounts the partly fictionalised last days of the life of film director James Whale, whose experience of war in the First World War is a central theme.

Although criticised for being overly-simplistic, McKellen’s performance received rave reviews, and he was nominated for his first Academy Award in the Best Actor category. Unfortunately, he didn’t go on to win this time around, but it remained a highlight in a career filled with fabulous work.
