Downton Abbey is one of those shows that is almost impossible not to hear about. Since about 2011, I've heard of this show and recently watched it. I'll be honest, it took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but when I did, I was sure happy about it. This is a character driven, ensemble drama that has engaging stories about history. It has a soapy edge, but not to the point where anything feels forced. If I do have to find some criticisms, it does seem like some of the problems the characters face are often too quickly resolved (see: Matthew Crawley's injury) in a way that it almost feels like the writers attempting to get themselves out of a corner. Perhaps that is unfair to say, but the thought does come across. Anyways, the acting is fantastic and the story is great. You should watch it!
