Downton Abbey might not seem particularly Overthinkable; but it’s been one of our favorite shows since its US premiere in 2011. And we love to talk about each new episode as it airs: the collision of aristocratic tradition and the modern world for the Crawley family and their servants; the ever-shifting web of alliances and the conflict between personal and procedural imperatives; an examination of class, identity, manners, and economics; the inimitable Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess—with our weekly recaps, you can dive deeper than you thought possible into the rich tapestry of themes and characters.
