This is one of the best programmes I've ever seen, very high quality and great actors, in fact everything is so good in it, including script. Some of its aspects remind me a little of that Nesbitt writer (the one who wrote A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntelroy, which I read as an adult!) This first occurred to me when I though what a magic quality the little boy with the big eyes had to him, a great way of speaking and everything, so charming and he seemed like a real person to me.

For those who are confused at the lack of interaction between the parents and their children: In the Victorian era aristocratic parents were not suppose to show affection to their children. Demonstrations of love were frowned upon. They were not suppose to be involved in their upbringing. That was for the common people. Your servants were to do everything for you. I understand everyone’s criticism, but remember this was a different era with different customs and ideas on parenting.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

True, and that is why films and TV series should depict the times as they truly were because each era has its own context. Being PC or revisionist will not educate people about the past. Let the era speak for itself and let people develop their own critical thinking and learn how to view things in context.

[@vickiepaul8258]

Most of us know that, it doesn't make it any less shameful because it was the "Norm". Adults need and want love, what would make them think the children needed it any less, and from their own parents. The early stages of creating a sick society.

Marriage to Isabel is merely an opportunity to be in the league of his respectable colleagues who themselves are married so it is the next best thing for him to do, not that he intended to be a married man. He has a reputation to be a seducer and that is what he did with the married woman and Isabel. His action was strategic even if he did not love her.

I think he is sweet on her, and doesn't want her to think that he would have no interest in her.

Loved most of the characters, and the long-term employment of most of the characters, and how the family mostly cared for their staff, and the progressiveness of the plot, showing the phasing out of one era bringing in a new era and the adapting of the family which allowed them to continue flourishing rather then fighting it and succumbing to failure as many did I'm sure.

We forget modern day children spend most of their time in schools or day cares. Few hours at home. During summer months some go to summer camps, special programs, etc. Some spend hours with sitters who come to the home or live in the home while their parents work. Modern day parents give their children quality time, not quantity time. Is this different from time parents of this era spent with their children?

Yes sometimes. Very much depended on the family. There was the tradition that they were a part of the family as well ( which, by the way, they often were...for better or for worse, and the presumption that one took care of one's servants and their families to some extent. IF the wealthy people were the fine ones, being born into that society, felling locked into it as well, and trying to be decent in their version of it, as maybe they had or hdan't seen their parents do ..or not ( and so in opposition to that).

[@JJ21210]

+gernot: You're correct -- they weren't, and that's one of the biggest criticisms of garbage sentimental shows like this and Downton Abbey, which pretend that personal relationships sometimes developed. They absolutely and positively did not, and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't knows nothing about social class in the UK. ..... Servants were used as machines, typically expected to work from 6 a.m. (stoke the fires, get the bath water) until 10 p.m. (dinner dishes) and sometimes later -- 18-hour days weren't unheard of. Servants who were cleaning a hallway turned to face the wall when their "betters" passed. They absolutely and positively weren't seen as people; the pay was poor; and the families made no old-age provision for the humans who wore themselves out in service. The propaganda suggesting otherwise does a disservice to everyone who wore him-/herself out thru life in service.

[@gwirgalon3758]

@J J; Ah but it wasn't that simple, as people never are. And yes, there was the tradition of using people, upheld by the various churches, that all were born to believe in..And had horrible consequences, of course, it's in the system, why time to get rid of suchways and give another education. And there are and were many decent people trying as best they could to get around it, and that is important. Because when it is no longer important...then the system of hurting others become legitimized. The system was abominable, as the religions that uphold such ways, but the people are what counts most, and where the changes to that system came from. The French revolution was started by the aristocracy going against that, for instance..
