Show of the week: Titanic

This gripping new dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking is written by the creator of Downton Abbey.

Written by the creator of Downton Abbey, this gripping new dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking uses the doomed liner as a prism through which to observe a rigid class system in decline. Julian Fellowes’s approach fractures the story; his telling jumps back and forth in time and interweaves multiple plotlines across the series’s four parts and two nights. Though Fellowes hasn’t followed James Cameron’s Oscar-winning blueprint and put a single romance at the drama’s center, the stories he chooses to tell are equally poignant. Saturday, April 14, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 15, at 9 p.m., ABC
