I agree with the reviewers who were disappointed with the new series. It has little of the charm or true sense of time or place of the original series - who needs a monkey sitting on the dining room table? Supposed to be funny or culturally inclusive? Didn't work for me.
The new series lacks a true historical perspective - instead we are being fed a 21st century version of how things 'ought' to have been or might have been if 21st century people were alive back then. There's blood and violence - splattered blood no less -, rebellious servants, the lady of the house eating fish and chips bought by a servant - give me a break! And then, as someone else pointed out the damn music is all over the place, even when the 'rebellious' girl servant is taking off her gloves to reveal her nail polish we are fed dramatic cords . Silly...I give this a fail.
score 2/10
