What exactly is the premise of this show? I can't convince myself to watch it because of all of the people annoy me post about it on facebook or twitter.

It is about Lord Grantham and his family, including the servants and other workers. Basically goes through the family life through the years. Takes place over a span of years. Begins with the Titanic and moves through WWI and right now season 3 I Believe is in 1920. Someone else might be able to supply a better description this is all I got.

Sort of like Mad Men in an attempt to portray a period of history.
Downton Abbey is doing a wonderful job showing what life was like in England as the monarchy began to lose its power. The servants are the best part of the show as they are increasingly becoming more liberal and more independent.
I know fans will be pissed, but I think the show would be good to move ahead about a decade. Maybe around 1933 as Hitler is coming to power in Germany. I love Granny Grantham, but they could get rid of her. Put some grey hair on Lord Grantham and Lady Grantham and let's see the house serving a different purpose.
It won't do the show any justice to focus on the soap opera storylines. They need to get back to the historical perspective.
