Downton

2017年7月10日 (月)

Sometimes I need a little bit of England in my life and this does the job magnificently. Downton Abbey is a TV drama that took the U.K. by storm. It is the story of an aristocratic family and the various ups and downs of their privileged lives. The story is a slow burner but well worth sticking with, and the costumes and locations are exquisite. At times a little contrived yet it manages to keep the audience desperately wanting more. A binge watching monster, I highly recommend, however the English is somewhat dated so be warned.

Review score 10/10

To take by storm – to become popular very quickly

Aristocratic – The richest level of people / born into wealth

Slow burner – Starts slowly but gets better and better

Exquisite – perfect in every way, beautiful

Contrived – Been done before, lacking origionality

To binge watch – To watch a complete TV series without stopping.

To be dated – No longer used
