Belgravia

Don't compare this to Downton Abbey. It's not and it's doesn't try to or need to be. This is a darker , more sophisticated perhaps a little bleaker vision of the upper class in the 1830's. The sets are exquisite , the writing sharp and the acting is pure class. Tamsin Greig and Harriet Walker are astonishing. Watch it. Love it.

It's natural that anything Julian Fellowes does will be compared to Downton Abbey, and whilst Belgravia isn't quite up there, it's still a good watch.

As you'd expect it's the war of the classes, here the families of historical grandeur are joined by the nouveau riche, the new money seeking a place in Society.

It looks fabulous, terrific sets and costumes, I thought the acting was great, Harriet Walter as always can do no wrong, Tamsin Greig was a joy, loved watching her.

It won't be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, tea and scandal, great for Sunday nights. 8/10.

Well written and beautifully filmed on location, with excellent costumes. Well worth watching!!

If you are planning to watch "Belgravia" then you already enjoy this type thing. The acting is great and the story intriguing. So far everything you could possibly want in a period piece.

Tamsin Greig, who looks so familiar to me but can't place her, is truly exceptional here. Why is she not in more stuff?

So far, so great. Let's hope the series continues the quality.

It is not DA, & doesn't try to be. It is bleaker and more sophisticated. Loving the scripting & cast, really enjoying it so far.
