Somewhat clunky, as we're beginning to expect from Fellowes, but rather enjoyable as suddenly bankrupt Louisa Jacobson comes to her aunts' in New York, picking up wannabe writer Denée Benton en route.
Christine Baranski is the 'old money' guardian, Blake Ritson her son, Cynthia Nixon her more open-minded sister.
Carrie Coon represents new money, her husband Morgan Spector is a ruthless businessman (who is somewhat annoying), Taissa Farmiga their daughter, Harry Russell the son.
Simon Jones is the classic British Butler.
There are some other people in the cast, but one doesn't have all day.
Increasingly resembles a filmed play by on over-acting cast. Not sure Fellowes is really any good as a writer.
Produced by HBO / Universal Television. The buildings are inspired by real Vanderbilt mansions.
