Reflections on Viewing "Downton Abbey I"

The plot is interesting. The characters are relatively rich, but they are limited to the nobles and ladies, gentlemen and ladies, maids and servants in the manor and not more extensive - political speeches and parliamentary by-elections are not enough to show the social scene outside the manor, so the theme is not enough. The love and hatred that is triggered and unfolded around the marriage of the daughter and the inheritance of the nobleman - it is also appropriate to call it the British Dream of the Red Chamber, and the characters are almost completely black and white.
Since the Count is benevolent and generous, why did he not abstain from extravagance, diligence and thrift, disperse his family wealth and help the poor? If the characters are real, the reason should not be the so-called "class limitations", but the selfishness and laziness of the so-called practical rather than romantic ideals.
The master respects the servants very much, which is very different from the masters and servants in China since ancient times, at least in this film.
The actor's acting is impeccable.
There are also a few other—by my standards for fictional literature—that are worthy of criticism and criticism, but it is undoubtedly a well-established modern film and television drama.
