Problem is there are no characters to actually like or relate to. The poshos are cold and the below stairs characters just aren't that interesting, the butler is just a pompous prig. Oh for the days of Gordon Jackson!

The historical references are heavy handed and contrived. Oh look, here are the Kennedys popping by for dinner. A group of refugees arrive in a cloud of steam to the chimes of 'I Vow To Thee My Country'. That made me wince.

Makes me long for the return of Downton.
