This is a strong historical drama that isn't afraid to NOT be Downtown Abbey. The period detail and sense of place in America's bustling upper classes is apparent. What is lacking is the development and focus on the lives of those who serve the upper class. What made Downtown unique was the fact that we cared equally about everyone from the Footman to the Dowager. Here, all the drama is centered on the High Society families and the "Help" acts in a much more occasional supporting role. I can only hope that future episodes and seasons right this wrong and bring the full picture to light.
