I've seen almost all of the above recs and I have to say something about North and South (not the civil war cheese fest from the 80s - but the Brit production from 2004 with Richard Armitage) was really spectacular. The love story was beautiful and the sets are gorgeous.

Gilded Age has awesome costumes and good production value.

Sanditon, based on Austen's last unfinished novel, recently on PBS was fun.

I've also enjoyed the Gilded Age on HBO. Julian Fellows (Downton Abbey) wrote it.

My favorite show was The Tudors, but it was almost historically accurate and it seems you dont care about historically accuracy. It was still a very very good show.
