What BollyAI Thinks

Series 5 aired September to November 2014, set in 1924 and addressing the post-war political landscape more directly than previous series. Rotten Tomatoes scored it at 100% on a limited critical sample, with Metacritic at 75 - a partial critical recovery that reflected reviewers' renewed willingness to appreciate the show's specific craft after the rough Series 4 reception. The introduction of storylines around Labour politics and the changing role of servants gave Fellowes more to work with than the preceding season's domestic mechanics. The Christmas special averaged 8.5 million viewers.
