The last season is one of the best. In the 1920s, new inventions entered everyday life: car, airplane, radio, gramophone... The Charleston was all the rage. However, there were also social and economic problems: strikes and the Wall Street Crash.

All these developments have their influence on the Bellamy family in Belgravia. Georgina dresses fashionably as a flapper, letting one lock of hair fall over her forehead. Familial and amorous developments keep going, but there are also illnesses and deaths. After Hudson's heart attack - great acting! - Mrs Bridges and Ruby are more prominent, which leads to funny and painful dialogues with language errors and flat accents. It remains special that life is shown through the eyes of two different positions. A governess is somewhere in between those two classes. There are some more outdoor shots, with beautiful images of Scotland and a nighttime joyride. Three decades of British history are uniquely crafted into a gripping series. As a viewer you get nostalgia for a period before you were born.

Favorite Episodes: 5, 9, 10, 14.
