I’m giddy because I think I’ve stumbled on a new series to watch {okay, new to me}. It’s called Upstairs Downstairs. It’s set in England {eeee!} and is about a family who takes over an old house {165 Eaton Place} and breathes new life into it. This one is set in the 1930’s, but it is still complete with a full house of staff, and the drama that comes with socialites. The best part is that it’s totally free to watch on Amazon {whether you are a Prime member or not}.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

This looks like the remake of the very popular series that was on PBS in the seventies.
Debbie says
I liked it, but not as well as the original. It was only on for a few seasons due to the illness of the actress who played Rose (in both the original and the new one). It’s not a remake. It picks up a few years after the last one ended. New people move in, most of the staff (save Rose) are new. House looks completely different. I enjoyed it though. I think you will really enjoy it.

If you like this, you’ll like “The Paradise” series. It’s even better!

The original is 100 times better, in terms of plot and acting. Jean Marsh, who plays a central character below stairs, actually wrote the series. Skip the new one and find th old one—something like 112 episodes.

Yes, please do see the original. The second one, above, is of the reopening of the old house. The original is addictive. You’ll love it.
