Set in the 20s it's about a maid having an affair with a rich guy. Starts a bit slow. Then becomes Downton Abbey with added nudity, which is a definite improvement, despite a couple of "I've just seen Prince Charles cock" moments.
But as it moves on and out becomes obvious that it's about the sheer volume of grief following the first World War, it becomes genuinely moving.
Doesn't all work. The wraparound story feels unnecessary, but some very good performances, and worth a look.
