Egalitarian panopticum A fine example of English humor ridicules a high-ranking noble name with her servants in 1920s London. The Great War of 1914 and the threat of the spread of Bolshevism are often ironically recalled. Many jokes are directed at viewers, modern writers of the series, about the changes that have occurred since then, such as where the royal family will go if you marry commoners. It’s funny, but where exactly, we see now more clearly than it was in the early 1990s. Although I am sure that even then many people understood everything perfectly.
No less funny, how many viewers for some reason believe that the series seriously reveals some serpentine folk truth and is directed mainly against lords and peers. Satire here, as old man Gogol bequeathed, beats on humanism, i.e. depicts a person as such, servants got no less than rich owners, do not deceive.
The acting game is quality, everyone plays a certain type. The development of the characters is not noticeable, but a certain general plot creeps somewhere. The series pleases everyone, the repetition of proprietary techniques every time fun, but to give the highest score stinginess will not allow, the approach taken does not allow you to pull up to the greatest masterpieces, the courage of diversity, the fear of retreating from one formula of success.
