The most interesting aspect of this miniseries was Benedict Cumberbatch playing a character who was not somewhere on the autism spectrum. It's a blatant attempt to capitalize on the success of Downton Abbey, with lots of footage of the clothes, automobiles and homes of the ultra wealthy trying to cope with the changes to the British society and economy in the years leading up to the first world war. Superimposed on all of this was a failed attempt to make it steamier and sexier which only made it seamier and unbelievable.
