Downton Abbey is a British period drama set in pre World War I England. Each series will span several years, with the second series set to take place during and after World War I.
Downton Abbey details the trials and tribulations of a family of nobility living on an estate called Downton Abbey, run by matriarch Violet Crawley and her son Robert Crawley. It also follows the lives of the servants on the estate, such as butler Mr. Carson and head servant Mrs. Hughes.
Marriage is a huge focus on the show, as the first season focuses heavily on Lady Mary Crawley's search for a suitable husband and her love for her distant middle-class relative, Mathew Crawley.
