Downton Abbey is a much-loved BBC period drama that has captivated audiences on both sides of the pond. However, for Americans, trying to understand and follow a story set in an aristocratic British household in the early part of the twentieth century can be a bit confusing at times. But never fear, for Tom M. Paolangeli, author of the best-selling “A Guy’s Guide to Fifty Shades of Grey,” has written a short, funny guide to explain things like “entails” and help the viewer keep track of all the various characters and plot developments in Season One. Viewers already familiar with the world of Downton will enjoy the in-depth immersion, while newcomers will be better able to understand and appreciate the show.
