I really really really wanted to love this show, and I thought I would. I have given it five episodes, but Iโm just so bored. Something about it always feels slightly off, and totally inauthentic unlike Downton Abbey. There is a lot of wasted talent hereโ Christine Baranski?! I wish she had more to do. The storylines are contrived. I donโt even know why they bother having random scenes of the downstairs household when they barely have a real plot in the show. DA was so good because it really only focused on the dynamics of the downstairs/upstairs. It feels like they just put the downstairs folks into the show to try to mimic DA, but the magic is lost. The writing is lackluster, the costumes feel fake, and overall just a big snooze. What a shame.
