The costumes! The romance! The drama!
So you’ve already seen Pride and Prejudice . And the Keira Knightley Anna Karenina. And Jane Eyre with Mia Wasikowsa and Michael Fassbender. You’ve also watched at least one adaptation of every Jane Austen novel. Maybe you’ve even seen North and South. And of course you watch Downton Abbey faithfully. Now you’re searching for the next period drama to binge-watch.
Allow me to be your guide through the world of costume drama. One of my hobbies is watching every single period drama in existence. I’ve made my way through Keira Knightley’s filmography, binged on the many adaptations of the novels of Jane Austen , consumed original miniseries, and viewed many a historical drama or adaptation of a 19th century novel.
And so, I present to you some very under-viewed but still amazing period dramas, in no particular order. You should add to them all to your must watch list. And of course, read the books too, if they’re based on a book.This TV drama about a field hospital in France during World War I was cancelled too soon after only one season, but it is a must watch.
Jamaica Inn is by Daphne DuMaurier , and it’s quite the thriller. The 2015 miniseries with Jessica Brown Findlay and Matthew McNulty is gripping. It takes place in stormy, perpetually gray Cornwall, where Mary Yellen has just showed up at the doorstep of her aunt and uncle, who are her last living relations after her mother’s recent passing. But they’re tied up in some bad business, and soon she is drawn into it and everything she thought she knew about right and wrong goes down the drain.
