Brideshead Revisited

The show explores the life, relationships, and romances of Charles Ryder, focusing on his close bond with the Flyte family, a wealthy and influential English Catholic clan who reside in their grand estate, Brideshead Castle.

Two young men from different backgrounds form an unlikely friendship at Oxford University. Charles Ryder, a young man from humble means, befriends Sebastian Flyte after a chance encounter. As they spend more time together, Charles becomes embroiled in Sebastian's eccentric family, who are Catholic nobility in Protestant England. The story unfolds through Charles' recollections of his youth and early adulthood, as he reflects on his experiences, relationships, and spiritual struggles while stationed at an English country estate, Brideshead, which holds a special significance for him.
