Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downton Abbey, has a new series out called Belgravia. You can stream the first few episodes for free on Amazon Prime. While I thoroughly enjoyed them, I am too cheap to pay for the rest of the series. However, it sparked my interest in reading the book, which I borrowed from the library and has me completely hooked.

Watch the first few episodes to get pulled into the world, then read the book.

It looks like you can watch the first few episodes without Prime.

I still subscribe to the DVD-by-mail service from Netflix and the whole season is scheduled to be available on disc in August. (And if you’re a Julian Fellowes fan, he has another series called The Gilded Age coming, perhaps next year, on HBO.)
