Hard to take this list seriously when it includes "Bridgerton" and "Queen Charlotte". I tried to watch "Miss Scarlett And The Duke", it says more about the obsessions of modern women then Late Victorian society.

Bet you can’t wait for Sense and Sensibility with a Black cast…

This woman has never been a fan of soap operas, and there are no TV “dramas” that hold my interest.

It’s the DM.

It’s shilling for the producers and distributors.

I couldn’t bear to read a list that probably included every version of Sense and Sensibilities ever filmed.

I assume the list did not include Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so the list is completely illegitimate

Best adaptation in the last 15 years was Kiera Knightly in Pride and Prejudice

I enjoy watching adaptations of good novels. I watch them when relaxing in the evening while knitting. I have seen Death Comes to Pemberley, Middlemarch, Larkrise to Candleford, the Borgias, Little Dorrit, the Sally Lockhart Mysteries, and Daniel Deronda. With the exception of the Borgias, I recommend each.

I saw the earlier versions of Poldark, Wuthering Heights, and the Buccaneers. I loved Poldark back in the 1970s and recently rewatched it after many decades. I may watch the remake when available on AcornTV or Britbox. I did not like the earlier version of the Buccaneers and no desire to see a remake.

I watched the first couple of seasons on Downton Abbey. I just never got the hype and no desire to watch the remaining seasons.

My favorite period drama is the PBS drama “I CLAUDIUS” from forty two years ago.

They left out “I Claudius”!

The Ultimate “Period Drama”, unless one doesn’t consider Ancient Rome a “Period”.

Oh Well, I liked it anyway.

[Polyxene]

The best period drama I ever saw was The Forsyte Saga (1967). It was shown on Masterpiece Theater and was in black and white. I have it on DVD. As for recent dramas, Victoria (another Masterpiece Theater presentation) was also good.

[Steven Tyler]

Rockford Files

Dukes of Hazzard

Daniel Deronda was good.

The list didn’t include adaptations of Anthony Trollope novels which were good:

The Way We Live Now - starring David Suchet. Matthew MacFadyden as Felix Carbury is a hoot.

He Knew He Was Right

The Barchester Chronicles - Alan Rickman as Obadiah Slope and Nigel Hawthorne as his nemesis Archdeacon Grantly are priceless.

The remake of The Forsyte Saga with Damian Lewis as Soames is good.

Cranford, Return to Cranford, North and South and Wives and Daughters are all good.
