There's a space between everyone being bffs and rape and murder. Of course some people in service will have had good experiences, like with any other job. But romanticism the concept of having a servant class in the first place is still not one that will ever sit well with me.

[tree_and_leaf]

Yes, quite. The fact that there were employers who, by the standards of the day, treated their employees with kindness and cared about them, even developed feelings of fondness for them, or had the decent manners to write a letter of condolence to a servant's spouse, doesn't mean that there wasn't a big gap between the classes or that, say, someone's chauffeur would have been made welcome as part of the family.

It's a bit of a weird example because the film is not very complex (I like it though!) but I was really struck by Maggie Smith's character in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel simply because we just don't see many people who were in service in England in films unless the focus of the show is on the upper classes. And she definitely had both positive and negative feelings about it.
