Five Great Reads: an American Downton, parental impostor syndrome and a 70s must-watch

Hello and welcome to Five Great Reads, your mid-morning wrap of slow news and great writing, lovingly placed in a ziplock bag by me, Alyx Gorman, Guardian Australia’s lifestyle editor (more on the ziplock later).

If you’d like your news a little harder and faster, please head over to our live blog. If you’d rather be reading about the tennis, we’ve got that covered too. And if you just want to look at one thing that’s hectic and compelling, I have two options for you: a serial killer cold case from New York that may be getting warmer; and a piece on how Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have double-handedly revived the weird rock’n’roll celebrity relationship (“You smell like weed”/“I am weed”).
