The first season, which premiered in 2010, set the tone for the rest of the series - upper-class drama, romantic entanglements, and historical references galore. With only 7 episodes in the first season, it's a relatively quick watch, but don't worry - the subsequent seasons make up for it with more episodes and even more drama.
As the show progressed, the number of episodes per season increased, with the second season featuring 8 episodes and the third season featuring 9 episodes. And let me tell you, the plot thickens as the seasons go on - with war, romance, and family secrets all playing a part in the drama-filled world of Downton Abbey.
But what really sets Downton Abbey apart from other period dramas is its attention to detail - from the accurate costumes to the historically-accurate storylines. And with a stellar cast featuring the likes of Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery, it's no wonder the show has won numerous awards during its run.
