When Downton Abbey began airing in 2010, it
became a surprise hit amongst audiences. Audiences eagerly awaited new episodes
of the historical drama set on the fictional Yorkshire country estate of
Downton Abbey during the early 20th century without the need for
action or excitement. While there was some spectacle in the setting and immaculate
period clothing, Downton Abbey’s primary selling point was the characters and
the slow-burn development of relationships. As the show ended, fans had a
feature film to look forward to, and three years later we have the follow-up
with Downton Abbey: A New Era. Although the sequel film doesn’t break much new
ground, despite the title, it is a welcome return and an excuse to spend more
time with beloved characters.
