3/10
Woefully Unpolished...lacking in etiquette and decorum.

I enjoy season 1 - storyline and cast!

The second serving is dull, dreary and the actors were terribly miscast!

The storyline is weak and just feels like filler content. Most characters lack decorum which came across as crass for a period drama - considering it is about the aristocracy and 1%.

Edward Blumel as the doctor I could not take seriously! Smiling and swaying throughout his lines. Personally I think he would have been better suited in the role of the valet and vice versa! I don't dislike him as an actor, but this is one example of the shows miscasting imo.

Hannah Onslow as Emily Dunn stood out for me. I enjoyed her scenes and what she brought to her character!

Episode one is a mess, trying to figure out who's who! As for the Marquise? They tried too hard...overkill. Less screen time the better, again imo.

I watched up to episode 4 and threw the towel in. I wanted to enjoy it so much! But sadly it did not captivate me. Unfortunately Belgravia should have been/remained a standalone series.

I am a big fan of Julian Fellowes. Downton Abbey is Flawless!! He set the bar high.
