I’d say maybe 15-20% of period work is tolerable
Actually some BBC and PBS stuff is ok....contrary to conventional wisdom
Less agenda driven
The White Queen was good.... fair.,... Starz believe it or not
Monarchy..... A BBC miniseries great
PBS Revolution was good
But many are simply wretched
Gratuitous minority insertions which don’t fit
It’s the age and its a pity
What really gripes me is the fist bumps and "wassup, bro?" in the 18th century period shows. Well, not quite that bad, but modern vernacular DOES creep in and creeps me out. I really liked "The Tudors" and "Rome." Less so "Turn." Just rewatched Spielberg's "Amisted" after 17 years and still greatly enjoyed it. Seems to have captured the times really well, although historian Eric Foner
doesn't agree.
