From the makers of Downton Abbey and written by Anthony Trollope comes 'Doctor Thorne', a costume drama filled with passion and class struggle in the idyllic 19th-century Greshambury. We dive into the life of Dr. Thomas Thorne, a respected physician with a secret: his adopted niece, Mary Thorne, is the rightful heir to a fortune. Amid romantic tensions between Mary and the local heir Frank Gresham, Dr. Thorne grapples with social pressure and the entanglement of truth and status. The love between Frank and Mary is tested by class prejudices and the avarice of Frank's family. As Mary wrestles with her origins and feelings, the intriguing American heiress Miss Martha Dunstable enters the scene. Starring Tom Hollander and Alison Brie, this series brings the English countryside to life with beautiful costumes, humor, and romance, against the backdrop of an era where social position and heritage were decisive for one's fate.
