(Anonymous) 2022-10-23 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)I rewatched the first three seasons early this year for the first time since they aired, and I enjoyed it even more the second time. IMO the character writing is excellent and is the show's biggest strength, though far from its only strength. Almost all the main characters have personalities that feel real and distinct to me, and we get a strong understanding of the interiority of each character. I find the dialogue very deft, the plot progression is clean and well-paced, the acting is exactly what the material calls for, and the production values are extremely solid.
There definitely is a consistent element of pro-aristocracy propaganda, but ultimately the narrative generally prioritizes kindness, compassion, and remaining flexible and open-minded in the face of things that challenge us, over any other tenets. Which are very good principles, IMO, regardless of the depiction being unrealistically idyllic and sanitized when compared to a reality that was nowhere near as good intentioned or tolerant.
I grew up poor and am still relatively poor, but personally I had no difficulty identifying with the Crawley's as they each struggled to figure out the best course of action or the best perspective on some aspect of a world that was full of unexpected change and upheaval.
