Description
Popular TV series like “Downton Abbey” are not only engaging drama, they are a window into the social, political, and culture life of a period. As the show cycles through the years, we get a glimpse of the issues of the day. Explore the show’s appeal, which goes deeper than its period fashions and lavish sets, with Julie Taddeo, as she examines its historical accuracy and what it says about the 21st century, from the 2008 economic crash to Brexit to America’s ongoing fascination with British royalty.
