Call the midwife? I really liked the early seasons in the post war period. I think we forget how affected England was by the war, for many years after. Later seasons are okay but just don’t have that historical resonance that the first seasons had.

Like almost all of Andrew Davies’ period pieces though Downton Abbey I didn’t care for that much (dragged on too many seasons)

The 2004 adaptation of North and South is good

Durrells of Corfu - love other mentioned but like the sometimes upbeat take from this lovable bunch of characters.

Cranford was good too, pre-Downton Masterpiece.

Poldark

Mr Selfridge wasn’t “amazing” but enjoyable

I am looking for suggestions for any period movies/tv shows. Anything with a costume and british accent will do.
