Poldark is about as close to a direct successor to Downton as we'll ever get — it even got the show's Sunday time slot on PBS! There's the messy romances (between landowner Ross and maid Demelza and between heiress Caroline and military doctor Dwight), the love triangles (Ross still isn't over his ex Elizabeth, who's now married to his cousin), and plenty of social conflict between the ruling and lower classes. For all your longing-looks and soap opera needs, Poldark is your best bet.
