There are six seasons, two movies and the third season, Downton Monastery Probably one of the most successful period dramas ever, and for good reason. The story of Crawleys is a wealthy family who runs a manor in the English countryside filled with upstairs drama, romance, scandal and history. It began in 1912 and the story lasted until 1926.
At the heart of this PBS series is the romance between Mrs. Mary Crowley (Michelle Pier), the eldest daughter of the family, distant relative Matthew Crawley ((Dan Stevens), when the previous heir died of the Titanic, he became the heir to the estate (no pass to women allowed). Mary’s two young sisters Edith (Edith)Laura Carmichael) and sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), as women’s rights begin to expand, they are also seeking marriage and bold dreams.
Downton staff also experienced a considerable share of romantic drama, especially among Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) and the lady’s maid Anna (Joanne Froggatt). Perhaps the most memorable Maggie Smith. Downton Nominated for 69 prime time Emmy Awards During running – most international series.
