I had this on my watch list for a long time and finally decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. The acting and writing of this production was superb. If you love Downton Abby, Upstairs Downstairs and the like, you will love this production. Mrs. Louisa Trotter is a bossy, sometimes loud and overbearing cook and businesswoman who rises from the bottom to the top. But she is also smart, kind, funny and extremely loyal to her friends, staff and guests of the hotel she runs. She tries to do what she feels is right and sometimes gets it wrong, but her intentions are usually in the right place. She is the epitome of a strong and independent woman in a time when women were supposed to "know their place."
