Julian Fellowes who wrote the very successful first series, turned this one over to another writer who created a melodrama that bears little resemblance to the original "Belgravia". The original "Belgravia" had much better actors/actresses and of course Julian Fellowes wrote it. I admit that I was eager for a season 2, but I was looking forward to a season 2 with Maria Grey and Charles Pope the new young Viscount and Viscountess Bellasis and not set 40 years later. The script is really bad. I assume that Julian Fellowes was occupied writing another season of "The Gilded Age", so he didn't have much involvement.
I agree that the supporting staff are very good with actors like Sophie Thompson, Gerard Horan, Elaine Cassidy and Liam Garrigan.
