The Downton Abbey creator's six-episode British period drama is "a pedigreed, crunchy-gravel story with all the trimmings and light melodramas, set in London’s most affluent neighborhood in 1841, where an old family secret is just dying to get out," says Hank Stuever. "The viewers are in on this secret almost from the beginning, which turns the series into a protracted exercise of hurry-up-and-wait, to see if things turn out all right. The real tension in Belgravia (premiering Sunday on premium cable channel Epix) is attuned to class and status, as it usually is in Fellowes’s work."
