How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

The Bellamy townhouse splits the frame: Edwardian masters above, servants with plot power below. Masterpiece Theatre's great ambassador, long before country-house soaps became a streaming habit. Class as dual protagonist, and the below-stairs breakouts that wrecked viewers more than drawing-room manners ever could.
