Period drama recommendations please!

[Colefra]

Any suggestions for good period dramas? I'm just getting into the genre, recent watches I have loved are Downton Abbey, Home Fires and have nearly finished Cranford.

I have Lark Rise to Candleford on dvd, just wondering if it is a better spring/summer type watch?

I have Netflix, Now TV, Prime and usual UK terrestrial channels apps.

A Place to Call Home, Prime.

The Crown (first two series)
Death Came to Pemberley
The Woman in White

Harlots

If you can find it then I highly recommend War & Peace.

If you liked Home Fires you might also like Foyles War.

It is in fact a detective series but set in WWII and so has lots of historical aspects.

There's also Wolf Hall, but seems to be a bit of a marmite series. Some love it, some dont!

I think Prime has some good historicl movies but somehow I cant search the web site.

Think they also have the series The White Queen and the White Princess.

We’re watching Sanditon at the minute, after Downton and The Gilded Age.

My favourite of all time is Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.

Dr Thorne
All the lies we tell
The Empress
Versailles

Poldark
sanditon
The white queen
The white princess
The Spanish princess
Anne with an E
Harlots

Oh and The Gilded Age

Wives and Daughters
Miss Scarlet

Love this! I’m watching the forsytes on Netflix and it’s great! Also second the recommendation for north and south. If war and peace is still on iplayer that was fab! Also if you want a film the age of innocence. There was a really good little Dorrit on iplayer a while ago too.
also loved outrageous and harlots
oh and Victoria on itv/ Netflix is a great watched….i binged it on mat leave

Also recently watched the hour series one….so good! I love a costume drama 😊

I'm enjoying the Forsythe Saga on Netflixs (the moody Damien Lewis version).

The other North and South with Patrick Swayze and Kirsty Alley is good but I'm not sure it can be viewed anywhere

Another vote for North and South. Brilliant.

Cranford if it is still on iplayer
Becoming Elizabeth - very atmospheric as they lit it as if it was candles. Quite a lot of scenes are shot indoors so it has the feel of a 1980s BBC costume drama.

I just watched Harlots on netflix which was really good

Do you know where I can find "To Serve Them All My Days" to watch? Is it only available via DVD?

I came to say The Gilded Age. I think the next season is due sometime in the summer 🤞
