When this show was on when I was young, it always sounded delightful to me—like a contemporary (at the time) version of a nineteenth century English novel, but more comprehensive as it focused on more than one class.
Sadly, it seemed dated. The pacing seemed wrong. The character most interesting to me, the feisty, proto-feminist upper-class daughter Elizabeth, was on screen too little of the time for me. The servant most interesting to me, Clemence, seemed to be headed out of the story. I did watch several episodes. Something I read on-line said that in the first few episodes the series was just finding its feet.
