Victorian era documentary or drama for a 14 yo please

[CoconutAmericano]

Hi would anyone be able to recommend a documentary or drama on netflix or tv for my 14 year old daughter who’s become interested in this period of history! Thank you!

@CoconutAmericano oh my goodness yes!

‘The Mill’ on Amazon Prime.

Absolutely brilliant - there are 2 seasons and with some famous British actors.
Really moving and I’m pretty sure suitable for 14 yrs.

Oh and North & South with Richard Armitage.

Oh wow @Verbena17 thank you so much! I wasn't sure i’d get any replies for such a specific request! Lol Much appreciated!

My DC loved Hetty Feather on BBC, although she might be a little old for it.

What about some of the Catherine Cookson adaptations, I loved them. They might be very dated though

Wives and daughters and north and south

Ill look into all the recommendations thank you @MillicentTrilbyHiggins @Twizbe 😊

Oh was going to say Wives and Daughters. Love it :)

Maybe the Cranford series? Judi Dench. Not sure how realistic - a little bit saccharine.

Great Expectations - BBC adaptation with Gillian Anderson.

Cranford.

Enola Holmes

Cranford
North & South
Lark Rise to Candleford
Anything by Dickens

Victorian Farm, Victorian Pharmacy, Victorian Christmas all good on the 'light documentary' side

Victoria is a good series.

Well she’s very excited about Enola Holmes now because she’s familiar with Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things so we’re going to watch it tomorrow! Honestly appreciate all the recommendations!

Around the World in 80 Days was great and suitable for this age.
While I'm here, what age would Hetty Feather be OK for? DD is 8.

The Mill is amazing. The only downside is it stopped suddenly and never got bloody concluded!!!

I really enjoyed the Paradise about a department store, set in Victorian England. It's available on Amazon Prime.

The ruby in the smoke

The 1900 House is on YouTube - I LOVED it when it was on in about 1999. The bits about the women washing their hair and dealing with their periods are so interesting!

The second Enola Holmes has the Matchstick Girls’ strike as part of the plot and she could research this herself and find out about ‘phossy jaw’ and the intrepid female union organiser who led the strike.

@CrabDuckDuckCrab I remember that. They bought some shampoo on BOGOF, then felt really bad and got rid of it. I also remember them taking obituary the temperature in the house. It was about 1 degree at one point.
