Likely not for everyone this British drama about distinct roles and distinct "families" living in a rather symbiotic manner.; however I very much like the characters and the story as it unfolds.

Series 3 and 4 of Upstairs Downstairs takes us up to and through the years of World War I, illustrating how that devastating war, and the run up to it, affected personalities above and below stairs. This is a good way for anyone who has little knowledge of World War I to gain some background, and perhaps be interested enough to learn more - it's an important part of history we should all be aware of, irrespective of age. Series 3 and 4 are-most certainly not just history lessons, but do offer insights to the period's history in an engaging way, as we discover how each of the familiar characters is affected.

Don't listen to ignorant reviews. This is the real deal and one the finest period dramas ever produced. The level of english talent here makes for a charming, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience. Not a overwrought soap opera like Downton Abbey. Classic PBS fare.

Heavy English accents and no subtitles therefore impossible to understand dialogue.
