I have eclectic tastes, and period shows are included in that. This is a list of period shows I've enjoyed and can recommend watching. Most are period dramas, some have humor, many have romance. (I love a good romance!) I also tend to watch well-done...
It's probably the Holy Grail of period romance. It has a feel good plot line, with loveable characters, real problems, and witty banter.
