"Alas, Ireney my unrequited beloved, it appears our plight goes unheralded by the petulant rabble of ILX. A pity, that."

But what is it even about?

I have nothing to say on this thread...because i didn't watch, but still i want to big it up. Yo Alex, fine work.

Damn, my pic broke. HATE it when that happens.

It's about three generations of an aritocratic British family starting at the turn of the century (last). It's rife with infidelity, treachery, slow-burning obsession, firmly-held grudges, taboo urges and a wanton disregard for the stuffy propriety of the day. Bascially, it's like a highbrow "Dynasty".

Do aliens take away one of the family members towards the end?

The first time they adapted this for TV (in the 60s), it started the whole Masterpiece Theatre style costume drama miniseries.

Not as yet, but there are several episodes to go.

Maybe Ireney is an alien.

Her seeming lack of accountability for her selfish actions certainly points to a certain otherness.
