Movie Reviews of Upstairs Downstairs - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Its hard to believe this series was on in the '70's....
Summary: 5 Stars
As I watched this show, I thought this show could have been produced in the 90's or 00's because of the topics covered. I have never really understood about the people "below stairs" I mean other than like movies like Remains of the day and the mountain of BBC programs I watch. I have never understood what the various positions are but I have learned alot watching the series, which I got from the library, I am totally in love with it. Being that it is one of the better shows that I have watched in a long time, including the ones that are on television currently. I am trying to find some things that I haven't ever seen before and this one was so highly recommended by so many sources, including my listmania of Top Masterpiece Theatre presentations. This one is awesome, I can't wait to watch the other four seasons.
One word sums it up...drama. Love it!
Summary of Upstairs Downstairs - The Complete First Season
Follow the "upstairs" dwellers, the Bellamys, and their "downstairs" servants through one of television's most loved and lauded series of all time. This collector's set includes the entire first season, all 13 episodes, of the multi-award winning series. Catch a first glimpse of 165 Eaton Place and be enchanted with the saga that captures the essence of life and love in Edwardian England.Anglophiles rejoice: the Bellamys are back in their upscale London home, and the servants are again ensconced below stairs. The characters are endearing and the writing bittersweet as the story follows the lives of this aristocratic family and its helpers from 1904 into the 1930s. Nine new-to-video episodes of this seminal British series have been included in a seven-video boxed set. (It aired in the States under the auspices of Masterpiece Theatre.) Of the 13 episodes, 5 are rare black-and-white shows never broadcast in the U.S. All are clean and clear and as enjoyable as when they first aired in the early 1970s. --Rochelle O'Gorman
