說起製作精良又好看的英劇，不得不提到《唐頓莊園》，這部反映英國20世紀初貴族生活和等級制度下人生百態的劇集從泰坦尼克號的沉沒到一戰的爆發，再到後來貴族階級的沒落，從2010年播出第一季至今，已於第六季全劇終。
最初，是在朋友的推薦下，第一次看時還在英國留學。少了韓劇的甜膩和美劇的緊湊情節，似乎英劇有些拖沓和瑣碎，當時看不到一集就作罷了。再次看時過了很多年，一口氣看完六季。開始慢慢感受到這部劇所帶給人的期待和生活中的正能量。
每個人都是多面的，沒有絕對的好與壞。生活總需要磨練，才能有劇中Lady Grantham那樣犀利卻不失優雅和風趣的人生態度。
來看看劇中值得推薦收藏的經典語錄吧，也許你能找到一些共鳴：
When something bad happens, there’s no point in wishing it had no happened. The only option is to minimize the damage.
既然壞事已經發生，再指望它沒有發生就完全沒意義了，唯一的選擇就是把損害降到最小
