Wasn't Gosford Park also written by the same person?

And didn't it also have Maggie Smith?

Gosford Park was written by Julian Fellowes, who made Downton Abbey, but they're very different beasts, and there's nothing contradictory about saying one is better than the other

One can be better, yes. Just, since Gosford Park was basically the germination of Downton Abbey and they share a lot of the same elements, or at least I think they do, I'd put the first series about on par with the movie. To be clear, I liked both, but there were some things I didn't care for in either.

It shares a lot of the same elements in the sense that they're about great houses, and the division between upstairs and downstairs. But while Gosford Park doesn't romanticize the relationship between ruling class and servants nearly as much as Downton Abbey does, and it helps that Gosford Park is a single story arc and not a series of increasingly WTF soap opera type plots.
