If The Royals isn’t quite your cup of tea, then one of televisions most popular series of the last five years surely will be. For the more high-brow television viewers among us, the historical period drama Downton Abbey exists to satisfy the fancies of the serious binge watcher.

Downton Abbey takes place in a country estate in Yorkshire during 1912 and 1925. Although the series is set in a time period when you think there wouldn’t be riveting drama, never underestimate the tensions that can arise between an aristocratic family and their domestic servants, especially in a time when world events affected the British social hierarchy.

As a heavily awarded series and a record breaker for most Emmy Award nominations for an international series, Downton Abbey quickly penetrated the mainstream with its bold vision, talented cast, and fresh take on period dramas. Join the Crawley family for six seasons and 52 episodes on Amazon Prime Video!
