Synopsis
Belgravia (2020) is a period drama you can watch online on iFILM. The setting is 1840s London, the priciest postcode in the city, where polished facades hide a secret stretching back to the night before the Battle of Waterloo.
James Trenchard, an army supplier who made his fortune, buys his way into a neighborhood ruled by old aristocracy, but money only opens so many doors. Twenty-five years earlier his daughter Sophia fell for Edmund Bellasis, heir to a noble house. Edmund died at Waterloo, Sophia died giving birth, and the families quietly handed the child off to strangers rather than face the scandal. Now that secret surfaces and threatens to topple the standing of both houses. Tamsin Greig, Philip Glenister, Tom Wilkinson, and Harriet Walter carry a story where a single letter can decide who inherits a fortune.
The series adapts a novel by Julian Fellowes, the man behind Downton Abbey, and the fingerprints are all over it: class barriers, drawing-room whispers, the cost of keeping up appearances. Six episodes, no padding, a tidy bit of costume drama for anyone missing the British estate. Stream all of Belgravia (2020) online on iFILM.
