'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 (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
