American fans have been waiting nearly a year for the return of this glorious and oh-so-satisfying British miniseries. While much has been made about the guest appearance of Shirley MacLaine — she’s wonderful, by the way — there are many other things to celebrate. My favorites: that deliciously wicked pair of servants, Thomas and O’Brien (Rob James-Collier and Siobhan Finneran); the restrained-but-changing Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville); and the force of nature that is the Dowager Countess (Dame Maggie Smith). Prepare some tea and crumpets and luxuriate in the two-hour season premiere, 9 p.m. Sunday on KCTS.

‘Restless’

For those of us in need of a “Downton Abbey”-style fix, we might want to head over to the Sundance channel tonight and try out this delicious-looking two-part miniseries about a young woman who discovers that her mother was a spy during WWII. It stars Rufus Sewell (PBS’ “Zen”), Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”) and Charlotte Rampling (“Melancholia,” “The Swimming Pool”), and is based on a novel by William Boyd. 9 p.m. Friday on Sundance
